A lovely, dark, purple in the glass. Olive tapenade, iodine and woody herb aromatics. There’s plenty bubbling away here, quite evocative truffle and earth. Brooding but balanced flavours of satsuma plum and black cherry, there’s also some fine dark chocolate and spiced oak adding texture and mouthfeel. The tannins have an obvious presence ensuring all that power is focused and the length is long, firm and serious.
