Very deep, dark, glass-staining red/purple colour. The bouquet is very oaky and savoury, with coconut and toasty-barrel, mocha and espresso coffee notes. A massive Wine, loaded with tannins – but they’re ripe, supple tannins – while the flavour is concentrated and strongly oak-infused. Brandied prunes in the aftertaste. The sheer weight and power of the Wine means it almost handles the huge alcohol strength.
