The bouquet delivers a complex array of red and black fruit, with smoky tar and licorice on display; the palate is an experience in two parts; on entry vibrant perfume, and to conclude there is a lingering sense of black fruit, fresh leather and smoky tar all working seamlessly together.

Well it’s certainly oaky but the fruit is just about up to it – mint and liquorice, black fruit and lavish toast and spice oak. It’s full bodied and concentrated with tarry, smoky coffee flavours to the fore along with moderately fresh fruit, but a savoury wine first and foremost. At first it seemed a little dried out, but tasting over a couple of days, the edges began to smooth out, the oak receded and it looked altogether better balanced and more complete. Needs a bit more time or a big decant before drinking. I have a score of 93-94 written down, just for the record, but either of those is fine.
