"Smooth, soft and approachable, this very fruit-driven, concentrated and deeply ripened blend is significantly less funky and evolved than many other expressions of this style. Floral and perfumed, its heady, spicy and confiture-like aromas of blackberries, blueberries and dark plums overlie spicy nuances of cloves, cinnamon and licorice. Bursting with vibrant small berry flavour and supported by fine, powdery tannins, it's long and unusually shapely, deliciously fresh and persistent. It finishes with faint earthy, currant-like notes."

"This came and went (and sold out) in the blink of an eye, but it's the second time I have tasted it, either entirely by accident or good fortune depending on how you look at things. Outrageously perfumed and aromatic with cherry and raspberry jam, spice, pepper, sweet licorice and a little earthiness. On the palate full bodied with a whole punnet of mixed berries, raspberry coulis, earth, spice and cedary oak. It has firm powdery tannins and fresh acidity and feels tightly clenched even after being open for a day. Finishes with intense dried cranberry flavours."
