Nose: Red berries and dark cherries, with dark chocolate, black coffee and some orange peel.
Palate: Dark roast coffee, burnt toffee and even a little coal dust initially, quite a bit of tannin, but then the fruits come through, peach, roasted plum and citrus, and it becomes sweeter with time in the glass.
Finish: Dark chocolate, allspice and maraschino cherry.
Overall: Dark, powerful, and extremely complex, needs time to open up to reveal its charms.
