Earthy and chocolate characters leap from the glass with sleek oak tapping a neat tune.
Wonderful fruit on the palate - full of flavour. Juicy berries add to the characteristics from the nose which flow on seamlessly.
Super fine tannin and long length - oh yeah!
Two things stick with me though as I lick the rim of the glass for any remaining trace - the earthiness on the nose and the super fine finish.
Oomph factor and elegance. Delish!
