Deep ruby with a bright rim. Seductive, perfumed aromas of dark berries, mocha and pungent flowers and herbs. Spicy, deeply pitched blackcurrant and bitter cherry flavors are lifted by tangy minerals and take on a smoky nuance with air. Finishes with gentle grip and very good persistence, leaving a bitter chocolate quality behind. This bottling has a fine track record for aging.
