A vibrant almost black to red in colour, the nose is brimming with sweet plum, and oak inspired cinnamon aromas.
The palate treads a fine line between being powerful and concentrated and over stepping the mark with ripe dark fruits matched equally with spicy and rich vanillin oak.
The tannins are really soft and get caught up with the fruit and oak, the only distraction is a slight lack of direction on the finish.
At the price, a great value wine.
