Juicy throughout but with a robust framework holding the nicely outlined cherry, blackberry, plum and black olive flavours. A small percentage (5%) was aged in used oak barrels adding a certain broody depth and bringing the subtle spiciness to the forefront. Elegant, delicious and outstanding value. One for Sunday roasts.
