Very deep, dark purple/red colour and a sweetly blackberry jammy aroma, lots of toasty oak and a touch of cherry-liqueur; the flavour sweetly super-ripe and almost essency, with ample soft tannins and a touch of chew. Very sweet and ripe palate, but gets away with it, because those fine powdery tannins ride in so nicely on the finish and aftertaste.
