Ripe blackberries, plums and star anise, with choc mint oak characters. Full bodied and unctuous with fantastic blackberries, plums, liquorice and complex chocolate oak. Great depth of fruit with savoury oak and mouth coating tannins. The fruit, oak and tannins all combine to give the wine great length of flavor.
