Bright ruby hue. Savoury developing nose of charred wood, caramelised black plum & cured meat. The palate reveals concentration, producing notes of blackcurrant & mulberry. Notes of vanilla & star anise accompany the rich fruit flavour. Silken tannin give the palate a full weight and rounded mouthfeel. Balanced acidity and the spice notes of Szechuan pepper and fennel seed give the wine a long, persistent finish.
