Deeply coloured, with an abundance of sweet black fruit, chocolate and fruitcake spice; the palate is rich, ripe and warm, with a layered array of dark fruit, and spicy oak on the finish.

Opens up with truffle and blackcurrant but after a quick stretch of the legs returns with dark chocolate, aniseed, blackberry and woody toasty mocha oak - a little edgy but very interesting. Full bodied and richly fruited with blackberry, raspberry and dark chocolate flavours it has a smooth and sumptous mouthfeel with abundant fine grained tannins and a lengthy finish of aniseed and coffee. It''s a wine of decadence and satifsaction - and quite rightly so considering the price.
