The Aviator provides an acrobatic display of concentrated red fruits, spice, leather and cigarbox aromas in the airspace of the wineglass. Once in the palate initial flavours include rounded red berries, blackcurrants, and cassis. The power of the afterburners then kick in, with an intense full body concentrated, with black olives, chocolate, and savoury characters, finished with elegant cedar oak tannins.
