Dense inky black in colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Soaring out of the glass with tremendous intensity are heady aniseed, black plum and black cherry scents which are trailed by vanillin oak, scorched earth and pepper notes. Thick, dense and extravagantly rich, the enormously sized palate is drenched in black plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits. Vanillin oak, scorched earth and pepper elements ensue. Showing pedal to the metal power it has velvet smooth tannins and finishes long and super lavish. Just received from Sam Kim at Wine Orbit – Wine Orbit 5* 95 Points “Richly fruited and seductively fragrant, the bouquet shows blackberry, star anise, cedar, and dark chocolate characters. It's equally satisfying in the mouth, delivering outstanding weight and plush mouthfeel, superbly complemented by layers of silky tannins. Sumptuous and refined at once”.
