Intense florals – violet and dried rose, dark raspberry, cherry, licorice, spice. Medium-bodied, but deep and sinewy, ripe cherry fruit, intense minerally tightly packed black tea tannin, and despite its darkness and backwards nature, has an alluring mouth-perfume and repressed juiciness throughout; a sure signpost to the direction it will take in the future. And it’s long. A classic.
