Purple black in colour. Developed and earthy nose, with lots of jammy blueberries and blueberry conserve. Plus some blueberries. They're climbing out of the glass in a delicious way. There's some mocha just to provide savoury juxtaposition, but the developed fruit is the majority player here (if you hadn't guessed by now). Admittedly, it's a warm night in Perth, so the aromas are more prominent.
The palate is a little more balanced, with the fruit complementing the earthiness and moderately grippy tannins. The mouthfeel is also textural, and there's some coffee and chocolate there too. The finish has a reasonable length.
Not going to get any better, and this was my last bottle. Most enjoyable for its style.
Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.
