Crushed black fruit on the nose, dark cherries, blackberries & blackcurrants that carry onto the palate with added woody & smoky notes.
Some spice, especially black pepper, adds complexity to the palate.
Well balanced with a silky texture & a long finish.
Press Revealing abundant notes of tar, cassis, black raspberries, tapenade & earth in its rich, full-bodied, stunning personality, it should drink well for 10-15 years.
