Deep violet in colour showing its youth, Nicole is intensely fruity on the nose, with blackcurrant and sweet cherry on a bed of spices like vanilla, licorice and freshly ground black pepper. At this stage the tannins are marked but finely grained, giving backbone to the fruit and berry flavours. On the very long finish black fruits and pepper.
