Dark, light ruby-red colour, lighter on edge. The nose is alluring with a dusting of smoke and savoury earth elements, unveiling pickled mushroom, cherries and blackberries, entwined with fragrant oak spices. Medium-bodied, there is a good core of overall concentration. Ripened, fresh cherries and blackberries bearing buoyant acidity, entwined with savoury earth, pickled mushroom and delicate oak spices. The palate is elegantly presented with well-defined layers of complexity; unfolding dry herbs, licorice. The mouthfeel is silky, interweaved by a fine-grained tannin textured line; poise with structure and underlying alcohol, contributing spices and power.
