Totally opaque black dark crimson red colour with very deep dark crimson red black hue. The nose exhibits a perfumed and complex array of aromatics with notes of ripe blackberry and liquorice intermixed with mocha, confectionary, vanilla and spice. Full bodied but neither heavy nor overbearing, the palate displays exceptional concentration and depth with mouthfilling flavours of blackberry, liquorice and dark chocolate followed by some mocha, confectionary and spice. Velvet smooth texture and tannin structure with very long persistent aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice, mocha, vanilla and spice. A beautiful wine, I couldn't wait the 8 - 10 years recommended for cellering.
