Plums, blackcurrants and chocolate lift off the spirity nose with more of the plums and chocolate on the palate. Great tannins, good bottle age and excellent spirit with a drying finish.

A gentle light weight style; very pretty and not too spirity with plenty of raisin and prune-like characters. Needs some cellaring time.
