Dark ruby garnet colour with purple reflections and subtle brightening at the rim. On the nose there are nuances of herbal spices, smoky minerality, fine dry spice and black berry fruit underlaid with thyme and sage along with a hint of saddle leather and undergrowth. On this palate this is powerful and complex with sweet extract, blueberry confit and black cherries carried by ripe, round tannins. Hints of candied violets and black truffle emerge on the long, taut finish. Delicate wild spice lingers in the aftertaste. Solid ageing potential. (Keep for 40+ years).
