Quite dark in the glass, this reliable crowd-pleaser begins with hearty aromas of black currant, black plum, lush oak and caramel, a hint of olive and loads of clove and nutmeg spice. The mouthfeel is hearty and rich with just enough tannic weight to balance the creamy black cherry, caramel and chocolate ice cream flavors, which lead to an oaky finish.
