| Deep dark crimson red colour with dark crimson mauve hue. The nose displays lifted notes of raspberry, macerated cherry and spice followed by some new leather end notes. Medium to full bodied with flavours of spicy black cherry and black raspberry followed by some blackpepper with an earthy new leather overlay. Very fine grained well integrated tannins with long aftertaste of black cherry, spice and new leather. |
