From magnum. 24 hour decant.
Good rich garnet, rim only slightly russet.
Powerful but complex nose, revealing something different with each sniff. Woodsmoke, prune and redcurrant with a bit of a gaminess to it.
Big beautiful palate of licorce and redcurrant. Long, long finish, at least a minute, and still with considerable power.
Mature, even in magnum, but will last a long time.
