Tight on the nose with minty top notes and slow to open aromas of coffee, mocha, boysenberry and black currant.
This is a touch low in acidity which gives the impression of both a weighty and fruity/sweet wine. Very smooth on the palate with firm tannins covered by considerable, almost grapey boysenberry, black plum and black cherry fruit with some coffee note for complexity. This is a big wine, rich and fun to drink but it does lack a little liveliness on the palate and some nuance. The finish adds in some blueberry notes before yielding to sweet, toasted oak spices. 88pts
