The nose shows lifted and brooding stewed dark fruit aromas of blackberry, mulberry and boysenberry. This is supported by wafts of nutty oak and black pepper spice with nuances of mocha.

The palate is full-bodied ripe, generous, soft and dry. The upfront fruit flavours are of overly ripe red and black fruit flavours of currants and blood plum. The mid palate shows flavours of dark chocolate and a gaminess. The back palate is firm yet soft with lingering peppery spice.
