Tasting Notes
Rich, deep dark ruby with a slight purple tinge. Opens on the nose with intense spicy notes, black pepper and fig leaf, then blackberryish, wild raspberry and liquorice. Substantial and dense in texture, lots of dark berryish fruit, grippy tannins, nice interplay between fruit texture and fine dark chocolate.
