The wine is deep ruby in colour. A ripe and harmonious nose of strong intensity; aromas of blueberry, blackberry, black plum, liquorice and cinnamon. There is juicy acidity on the palate, well integrated moderate alcohol, pronounced fruit concentration, a full body and firm meaty tannins; flavours of black rowan, liquorice and cinnamon in quite a long finish. Needs further ageing.
