Ripe and opulent aromas - black currants, vanilla, chocolate dipped cherries, warm oak spices and a hint of sweet herbs. The entry is smooth with juicy dark fruit, the mid-palate is supple leading to base flavours of chocolate, vanilla...earth and although the finish is still a bit tight at the moment it lingers nicely with spice and tobacco.
A very good showing!
