Dark red in colour the nose has good concentration and shows olive , blackberry and a hint of cassis.
The palate itself unfolds in layers, initially you are hit with black pepper and plum, it then slowly evolves to more savoury blackberry fruit that is bound by firm, mouth filling tannins. The finish shows excellent complexity and superb length
The wine is drinking in it's prime now and over the next year or so
