Deep dark red core with black tinged edges and a light red hue. Captivating the olfactory senses are perfumed aromatics of violets, dark cherries, winter strawberries and a faint whiff of sour cherries followed by anise, meaty forest floor like notes and light spicy cedar. Delicious ripe dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours flood the mouth giving it a supple feel. Fresh herb infusions, a light meatiness, forest floor characters and spicy cedar sit beneath the fruit. Very well integrated, finely tuned acidity and velvety tannins. Excellent power with a long driving aftertaste.
