The brooding sous bois character of the nose is complemented by an abundance of dark berry fruit and violets. Beautiful floral aromas follow through onto the palate with intense spice, liquorice and dark plum. The wine is meaty and Rhone-like in style on the mid-palate with integrated acidity and fine, vibrant tannins to balance, offering great ageability. The peppery finish is long with hints of cloves, fennel and aniseed.
