Aroma: Intense bouquet of dark chocolate, dark plums, liqueur cherry and dried cranberry notes. Secondary aromas of star anise, cinnamon, medjool dates and spicy cedar oak abound.
Palate: Rich fruit forward flavours of blackberry, black currant and black olive are interwoven with savoury notes of leather, allspice, and cigar box. Oak is present but not overt, chewy tannins and fine acid line complete the oenological experience.
The Goose-yard block is definitely designed for long term cellaring. Buy a case and and put down in the cellar for 10 years before even thinking of opening a bottle.
