Extremely dense and concentrated. Opaque purple, almost black in colour, the aroma is full of ripe black fruit, grilled bread, pencil lead, wet stones, lavender, blueberry pie and black cherry. On the palate there is layer upon layer of savory fruit, spice notes, espresso and dark chocolate as well as rich creamy texture. The aromas and flavours carry on long after. Marginally fresh on the nose, with aromas of black tea and compost, this is sugary and confected. Hickory and syrup-like flavors end with the tang of barbecue sauce.
