Opaque with dark Aubergine core. Lifted aromas of black and blue fruits. Blueberry, mulberry, blackberry and black plum leap from the glass and meld effortlessly with graphite, sandalwood, liquorice and dark cocoa chocolate. On first sip the palate is welcoming and plush with abundant black and blue fruits and soft round tannins and an earthy forest floor note adding complexity. The fruit and acid intermingle nicely across the textured mouthfeel along a line of soft plush tannins and glossy fruits.
