Medium intensity red with a red hue. A complex aroma displaying black olive, plum skin, red fruit and liquorice  characters with hints of charcuterie, bay leaf and forest floor. The palate is medium-full bodied displaying fruit sweetness but with a savoury edge that makes one salivate and crave food. The flavours are of dark cherry, black berry, tapenade and dried herbs with notes of dark chocolate, and fennel. The tannins are noticeable and slightly drying which only adds to the desire for food. A wine well matched to tapas.
