Winemaker's Notes:

Opaque core with a dark garnet coloured rim. A complex array of fruit - blackberry, blueberry and plum, dried herbs such as thyme and spice in the form of aniseed, with hints of earth and camphor. Equally as complex on the palate, yet meshed by savoury tannins and balanced acidity. Very long.
