3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle recommendation - Poured a dark reddish black with a tan simmering head. A rich strong grape aroma. On the Pallet there are hints of coffee-dark roast, coco and an earthy grape sweetness. Some slight odd sourness which may have turned me off a little. For all the hype I’m going to need a re-taste of this.

Gently roasty aroma with bundles of Dried fruits. Dark chocolate mixes with raisin and prune and is followed by more chocolate notes. Flavour is a symphony of varied notes, dark chocolate with hints of vanilla then a touch of peppery spice and may be a hint of oranginess.
