Excellent depth of colour with a black dark red core and a deep dark red hue. Ripe blackcurrant aromas are overlaid by bay leaf and mint with vanillin cedar, light tobacco and spice ensuing. Medium bodied the palate possesses ample richness with flavours of blackcurrant and choc mint presiding over vanillin cedar and spice. Slightly dryish tannins lead into a chewy medium length finish.
