Deep purple, this is ripe and plush with chocolate, licorice, mulberries, cassis, red currants and a note like a richly flavoured (is there any other kind?) chocolate mud cake. Exuberant in style, there is good length here, with the intensity maintained for the full length of the wine. Soft tannins. This is delicious.

All varieties were fermented separately and aged 9 months in seasoned French oak before the final blend, which happened just before bottling.
The nose offers elegant and attractive aromas of red berries, plums, white pepper, and black olives. The palate is vibrant and complex with red berries and plums, followed by a long, smooth finish.
