Fragrant spicy aromas of black pepper sage bay leaf and star anise are interwoven with vibrant plum blackberry and blueberry and gentle notes of tarragon and cedar. The palate is complex and textured with rich and concentrated flavours of mulberry blackberry and plum layered with sage black pepper and star anise. The finish is beautifully balanced with long velvety tannins and excellent depth.
