A big, thick set GSM.
It's quite deceptive though as the alcohol content is 13.8%. The fruit is generous highlighted by black fruits, woodsy spices and blackberry jubes. Quite sturdy on its feet, touches of char and cedar can be seen too. A dusty of black pepper is prominent throughout. Warming through the mouth initially but this settles with time in the glass. Firm tannins sit long. An age worthy type.
