WaterfordTheJem2017

Deep ruby garnet in colour, the nose is perfumed with layers of cedar wood, white pepper, black olive and clove which compliment notes of black plum, prune and mulberry fruit with a seem of blackcurrant. Elegant, dried cranberry on the palate moving into rich plum flavours supported by hints of cassis and perfumed, sweet tobacco leaf lingering with a finish that is long and structured.
