Blackberry, licorice, rosemary, sensimilla, spiky red lavender, and lashings of cold, dark rock smells. The palate has lovely sweet tannins, flourishing a strong, happy, alive wine with great freshness. Meaty fruit is tannin-stunned, bristling with cobs of briar, nuanced with baking spices (fenugreek, white pepper and clove), red licorice and anise.
