The nose has a complex bouquet of spicy cloves and nutmeg with a hint of cigar box. Aromas of mulberry and blackberry underlay the slightly lifted nose. The spicy bouquet is also represented on the palate and dominates over a dark chocolate base with a hint of vanillin from the American Oak. The palate is full with lasting flavours and fine, ripe tannins that do not stick the tongue to the roof of the mouth. Well balanced smooth finish.
