  Deep garnet to bricking rim
  Vibrant aromas of fresh spice, oak, red and black fruits, the wine is still youthful at five years old.
  A sweet entry with a soft, succulent texture and packed with oak-induced spices: nutmeg, cinnamon and clove.
  Broad in the mid-palate, there is a fleshy core of fruits framed with fine-powder tannins and a twist of melted lindt (70%) chocolate. Creamy, this is a competently made wine on the modern edge.
