Essency plum juice aroma, fresh and bright. The palate is likewise bright and vibrant, youthfully fresh and vigorous, with a firm veneer of tannin across the palate. It's full-bodied and quite big-boned, youthful and dense, with a substantial future.

Just like the other type of road block, this will stop you in your tracks such is its command. It's dense, concentrated, full-bodied and rich. Layers of blackberry essence, dark chocolate and sweet vanillin oak and masses of tannin. Fans of the style, knock yourselves out. Drink to 2036.
