Nose: Reticent at first, gradually unfurling to reveal exotic, enticing aromas of damson, raw cacao and a hint of star anise.
Palate: Silky tannins provide subtle structure beneath a core of pure autumnal blackberry, plum and sweet sloe. Fragrant spice and subtle vanillin notes combine with an almost-graphite freshness, creating a sense of poise and balance.
