Tasting Notes:
"A fine confidence on the nose, one filled with dark and lightly grilled black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, with vanilla and creamed fruit overlay. The palate is fresh, pure, balanced, with a fine substance tokit, the middle showing a nicely judged extracted tannic profile, the dark, smoky, liquoricelaced cherry fruit supported by a ripe tannic profile. Elegant, charming, with rich energy and a good sense of ripeness in the finish. Long and grippy. And very good. "
