Sample
A nose of graphite, tobacco leaf and deeply concentrated blackcurrant with supportive spice as a secondary influence.

The wine is medium bodied with a seductive flow; there is an undergrowth and earth impact to supple blackberry fruit, oak gives a gentle creaminess. The tannins are expansive, yet layered in their impact and the acidity could not be more balanced.

The finish is accentuated by pencil shavings and sweeter cigar box like spices, however fruit is the star with cassis lingering with impact.
