Saturated dark fruit characters on the nose are intertwined with roasted cinnamon spice and trademark crushed herbs. A lush palate with a sheer depth of sensuous fruit.

Spiced chocolate notes make an appearance as always, contributing to the classic layers of intrigue that Block 3 is renowned for.
