Wine Colour
Dark red with a slightly purple hue.

Wine Bouquet
This wine has an overt lifted aroma of black berry fruits, plums, licorice and subtle apricots. Underlying aromas of vanilla, cinnamon, dark chocolate, violets and cedar add to the complexity of the aroma.

Wine Palate
The wine is medium bodied – rich and smooth with delicious flavours of juicy plums, blackberry, licorice and subtle spicy apricot. This is a well integrated and balanced wine with grainy, textured tannins which persist well after the wine has been finished.

Cellaring Notes
The wine can be enjoyed now but will benefit from careful cellaring up to and possibly beyond 2015
