A deep brooding wine in terms of colour and flavour, with the nose providing a heady mix of spices and ripe plum fruits that are border line over the top.
On the palate you can see quality in terms of oak and fruit, however the oak is heavy handed and the fruit a candidate to be picked slightly earlier with a raisin character that becomes a little cloying on the finish.
That being said, this is still a very enjoyable wine, but for me it is more of a one glass candidate.
