Impenetrable inky black heart with a very deep black dark red hue. Sailing through the olfactory senses are heady aromas of blackberry, liquorice and black cherries which are cleverly interwoven with delicately smoked vanillin cedar, earthy graphite and blackpepper notes.

Smoky vanillin cedar, earthy black olive, graphite and blackpepper characters ensue on the long finessed yet nicely structured finish.
