Nose

The wine exhibits aromas of briar fruit, ripe blackberry and dark plum with a tinge of minerality and charred meat.

Palate

Brawny on the entry, it has an equally big mid-palate with complex flavors of ripe brambly fruit, a touch of earth and notes of espresso bean. Still massive through to the finish with soft drying tannins, the unique varietal characteristics of the blend clearly reveal themselves over time.
