Awash with creamy, toasty oak but the power of fruit lying behind is quite magnificent. This is a full-bodied red wine of high style and quality. Black cherry, plum, licorice, lavender and leather-like notes. It's like dark suede, thick and rich. Tannin is the runway from which the fruit launches its final, impressive attack. How long have you got? This wine is destined to mature, given appropriate storage, over an exceptionally long period.
