Deep ruby. Rich and complex with intense aromas of ripe black plum, blackberry, red cherry, layered with candied citrus fruits, floral, herbal and savoury notes. Full-bodied, it delivers mouth-filling, generous black fruit across the palate with spice and oak complexity. Tannins are structured, ripe and velvety. The finish is long and flavourful.
Food Pairing: red meat, roasted pheasant, aged cheeses.
