A deep red in colour with a brick red hue around the rim of the glass.

The nose is wonderfully intense and layered with leathery plum, cedar and a dash of cinnamon.

The wine shows a similar intensity and depth on the palate as it does the nose.

Dense plum is given a cedary lift by quality oak , the tannins are superfine and provide a roundness that is juxtaposed by well proportioned acidity and gentle spices.

The wine finishes with leathery plum and dense oak that lingers.
