Deep garnet with slightly lighter rim. Nose of blackberry, bramble, wood spice, cinnamon. Palate of black fruit, but many secondary flavours of oak and spice. Very soft tannins and well integrated. High complexity and long finish. Had two bottles over space of 6 months and both drinking very well.

Took an hour in decanter for it to open up properly. Cabernet took the front seat. A nice blend.
