Colour : Dark deep purple
Aroma : Savoury, blackcurrants, pepper, spice
Taste : Concentrated, savoury, dark berries, blackcurrants, cherries, plums, spoilt by the hard tannins and oak on finish, long liqourice finish (like chewing a black liqourice allsort !). Fruit was a bit muted at first but opened up nicely after 15 minutes in the glass which suggests a couple of years cellaring wouldn't go amiss.
Alcohol : 15%
Price : 369 SEK
