Riverina, New South Wales
Very dark purple, almost black, in the glass.
Rich blackberry and spicy nose.
Tarry, black licorice (not the shiny Twizzlers, but the dull black licorice that they use to make candy pipes and cigars), big structure, weighty and thick, juicy and fleshy blackberry and black cherry, smoky, toabacco, a little sweet, good acidity, roasted notes, spicy, a bit of heat evident toward the end.
Mouthwatering, black licorice finish.
Screwcap closure.
A very big and impressive wine.
Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian).
