Really yummy, tastes as if just bottled. Chocolate-laced gritty tannins and lots of dark earth tones.

Ripe, actually very ripe, nose with black currants and juicy cherries supported by toasty oak. Full and rich on the palate, centred around great fruit, oak spice and extracted tannins, where sadly alcohol is too dominant on the finish and the lowish acidity doesn't allow the fruit to show its full potential.
