Deep ruby. Assertive, mineral- and spice-accented aromas of black and blue fruit, candied flowers and liquorice, accented by slowly building smoky notes. Sappy, focused and pure, offering intense blackberry and boysenberry flavours that put on weight and become spicier with aeration. Shows outstanding vivacity and power on the penetrating finish, which features building tannins and an emphatic mineral quality. 94 points
