Very deep, almost inky ruby red in colour, an enticingly fruit driven nose is tantalisingly layered with black cherry, blueberry and black currant aromas underpinned by nuances of cedar wood and graphite. Rich black fruit unfurls with tart black cherry nuances conveyed by an enticing perceptible acid structure that balances the savoury tea leaf tannin on the palate and facilitates a complex, long, lingering finish interspersed by spice, fruit and fine tannins.

A match like no other: lamb with rosemary. Also pink and juicy Chateaubriand, roast poultry or boeuf bourguignon
