Layers of black fruit and spice waft from the glass. On the palate, rich flavours of ripe plums and black cherries mingle with hints of mocha. Firm, yet supple tannins carry through to a long, luxurious finish. Although brooding now, decanting awakens this slumbering giant, revealing a frenzy of flavours waiting to be unleashed.
Art
Once upon a time, there lived a wicked king who ruled over the faraway kingdom of paper and beans. The King was a dour man known for his radical mood swings and lack of common sense. One day the Paper King found a goose who could lay golden eggs. The goose was just happy to be of any help and worked hard to please the King by continuing to lay many a gold egg. But the King was a paranoid man, and in his paranoia, he started to look at the goose and its golden eggs as something that could be used to help him become overthrown. In truth the Mad King of Paper & Beans fell into a trap of his own elaborate design until eventually a friendly frenzy of birds scooped him up taking him away to another far-off land…
