Deep Ruby red with aromas of berry fruit with a touch of floral and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with toasty vanilla oak, cacao and some pepper spice. Fine dusty tannins, ok balance, medium finish ending with mineral fruit character.

Starts off with a little promise, but it's kind of flat.
