The wine is dark garnet red in colour with high clarity.The nose is very flagrant with intense with cassis and cedar dominating the aromas. There is some underlying nuances of fennel and damson plums.This is followed by a generous, meium bodied palate with lovely, succulent tannins which carry the flavours of blackcurrant, sandalwood, liquorice and morello cherries. As with previous releases of "the cover drive" the wine displays harmonious balance and can be enjoyed now or will reward cellaring for 5 years.
