Inky purple. Explosively rich, smoky aromas of cherry, cassis, cola, espresso and licorice. Deep and silky, with excellent concentration, sweetness and purity to the dark fruit flavors. The finish is an endless display of sweet, lush blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, with fine, dusty tannins adding focus. This saw a lot of new oak but has the fruit to support it.

Deep ruby-red. Sexy aromas of redcurrant, mocha, black licorice and minerals, with a sweet overlay of oak. Sweet, lush and round but serious, with deep, concentrated flavors of plum, black raspberry and licorice. Finishes with dusty, toothcoating tannins and very good length. .
