Medium to full palate weight, powerful flavours of spice, pepper and sumac. Structural powdery tannins provide a dry finish to compliment the dark fruits.
Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

This is immediately appealing on the nose showing blackberry, mixed spice, olive and cedar aromas, leading to a concentrated palate delivering terrific fruit intensity with velvety texture and fine grainy tannins. Wonderfully composed and structured with a persistent satisfying finish.

Solid rounds of plum essence and orange oil flavour come dressed in classy cedar and vanilla oak. The extra sauce here is attractive woodsmoke-like characters, likely from that same oak. It's fruity and flowing but has some extra grunt. It's not subtle but it works.
