Blackcurrant jam, currants and tar leap from the glass and introduce this in-your-face red. In the mouth, concentrated meaty flavours with blackcurrant, star anise, vanilla and sweet spices mingle together to create a hard to resist combination in a juicy package. Fragrant flavours of strawberry jam and vanilla emerge on the woody-textured finish.
