A deep red in colour, the nose has balance of ripe plum and licorice, with the palate showing quality oak and dark fruits; a combination that provides density, texture and richness all in the one sip.

The tannin structure of the wine is fine but firm enough to provide a backbone for longevity in the cellar; with the acid having a similar effect.

The finish, is long and fruit driven, drenched in plum and blackberry, as well as being wonderfully focused.
