Very deep crimson in colour. Rich and beguiling aromas of blackberry, blueberry and dark plum, followed by a signature exotic five spice, star anise and sage, with underlying nuances of beef stock and dark cedar. Intense and layered, the complex palate bursts with a dense, pure core of sweet spiced plum and blackberry, coated by firm yet integrated, fine velvety tannins which draw away to an extraordinarily long finish and lingering flavours of dried sweet spices.
