Matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 18 months this is a densely flavoured and fleshy wine. Deep and complex flavours of prunes, black cherry jam, spice and tobacco weave through the full bodied palate with its velvety texture and long, complex finish of cocoa, coffee and vanilla bean. Delicious.
