A dark blood red core versus crimson edges with perfumed dark cherry, white pepper and orange zest dominating the aromatics with underlying hints of plum, lavender honey florals, spiced oak, arrowroot biscuits and a subtle ferrous earthiness. The silky palate opens with dark cherries, dried bay leaf, white pepper, dark salted plum with subtle hints of graphite, dried tobacco leaf throughout. The tannins grow towards the back of the palate and are firm, without being overpowering. The wine finishes with red cherries, plum and dulce de leche. Decanting is recommended. Serve at 14-16C to accentuate the fruit characters. CELLARING POTENTIAL: 5 – 10+ years
