It offers a sensational bouquet of crème de cassis, black raspberries, tobacco leaf, and minerals, as well as an unmistakable Pauillac lead pencil characteristics that I just adore.
Ripe, juicy tannins wrap around a core of intense dark cherry, plum, spice, lavender and tobacco.
It has an attractive bouquet: graphite tinged black fruit, incense and violets, perhaps a little more hedonistic than I envisaged when I tasted it from barrel.
This delivers a notable menthol note, showing an ample core of well-steeped blackberry, plum and black currant fruit.
