Tasting Notes

Dense, dark and brooding in the glass, the 2018 Velvet Glove is complex and opulent. Aromas of black plum, blueberries and roasted coffee mingle with anise. A supremely smooth mouthfeel accentuates the balanced structure and expresses deep flavours of berries, whilst liquorice and allspice linger on the palate.
