Intense appearance, with intense aromas of black currant , blackberry and black pepper . A full-bodied red with black currant , blackberry and black pepper flavours. The finish is complex. This is an outstanding wine nurtured with complexities and power but graceful.

Notes
This wine has the elegance of a ballerina poised majestically with the power of a gladiator with the palate. It has the finesse of a diplomat and the thrust and longevity on the finish of an opera singer. This is a magnificent wine that sadly is no longer available as the 2009 are now sold out. But if you can find a gem this is the one you want in your treasure chest.
