Deep purple with generous layers of blueberry preserve, ripe plum and blackberry, followed by dark chocolate, licorice, black pepper, vanilla and incense. Full-bodied and lush, the palate carries its concentration with polished tannins and controlled richness. The finish is exceptionally long, dark-fruited and warmly spiced without losing balance.

Bright garnet in the glass, with an intense nose of ripe damson, cherry and elderberry joined by subtle balsamic and savoury notes. The palate is lavish and juicy yet energetic, layering generous dark fruit over a balanced frame. Freshness carries the concentrated flavours into a poised, lingering finish.
