Tasting notes

Inky purple in color with aromas of ripe dark berry, bramble jam, cassis, blackcurrant, thyme, forest floor and light cedar wood. The palate is full-bodied, rich and energetic with layers of dark spicy fruit along nutmeg, crushed stones, wild herbs and fine chalky and slightly dusty tannins. The finish is powdery and slightly spicy.
