Big spicy, black plum, cherry jam, savoury, orange peel, vanilla, licorice, minty, peppery nose, very good fruit. Ripe, round, smooth and supple with light tannins. Peppery, smoky, licorice, black cherry jam, plum, vanilla, dried herbs, savoury, minty, orange peel, mocha and chocolate flavours with a bit of tobacco and anise. A warm finish but it is very suave with great fruit and acidity. Drink now but will improve over the next few years.
