Opaque purple. Blueberry muffin, white pepper, young soft leather, Belgian chocolate, grilled plum halves, baking spices and peel, ferrous tinges and creamy oak spice. Mid weight. Tightly structured with minerally, graphite sinews through spiced blue fruit. Hints of savoury ferrous/bloody depth over fine, rumbling tannins with a clean, cool freshness. Maintains the elegance of this label.
