Nose Blackcurrant compote, tinned peaches, figs, honey-roasted peanuts, oak tannins, some stony minerality, BBQ rub, pickled walnut, watermelon, and Black Forest gâteau.
Palate A full-bodied, slightly waxy texture. Waves of spice, oaky and peppery, burst out of the gate followed by dark chocolate (the posh kind), fruitcake, red wine, Manuka honey, oak char, and walnut.
Finish Stewed plum, toasted brown sugar, a little red chilli earthiness, and cherry.
