"Medium ruby. Black raspberry, plum, violet, lead pencil, mocha and sweet oak aromas. Dense, lush and smooth, with restrained sweetness and solid structure. Just a hint of pepper to suggest that the material that did not make it into big brother Pingus was somewhat less ripe. But very suavely made; harmonious, concentrated and long on the aftertaste."
