Nose: Quite powerful, very big, heavy on the oak, with some dark berries to it.Taste: Big flavour, a bit tart in the beginning, and the oakiness carries through. Big in the fruit as well, but mitigated by the oak and tannins.
Finish: A bit tart in the finish as well with medium tannins.
What we say: S - 'Slight hint of pencil crayon... No, wait... It's pretty much the only thing I smell.' 'I'm going to guess from the nose that this is slightly more on the sweeter side.' V - 'It's a pile of oak, with an aside of dark berries.' S - 'It's like thick cherry oak, like syrup. Not in the sense of sweetness though.' V - 'Yeah, there's nothing subtle about this whatsoever. If it wasn't for the oakiness this would be fruit-bomb territory, but the oak keeps it down'
What they say: It abounds in dark fruit aromas that fit perfectly with the generous barrel-supplied vanilla and chocolate notes. Full-bodied it is a wine of supple, velvety tannins.
