ORGANOLEPTIC DESCRIPTION: Dry, full-bodied red wine.
COLOUR: Intense plum with a vibrant ruby edge.
BOUQUET: Opening with rich, dark berry fruit at its core and a savoury edge
of wild herbs, graphite and cedar. The wine is dense and brooding with plump
blackcurrant fruit moderated by a backbone of fine-grained, grippy tannins,
creating lovely tension and succulence.
TASTE: Beautifully balanced and stylish with classic cultivar expression. The
savoury finish is long and satisfying.
SERVING TEMPERATURE: Room temperature, 16–18°C (60–64°F).
PRESERVATION: Can be enjoyed from the year of release, with ageing potential
of up to ten years.
Perfect with ribeye steak, grilled or slow-cooked
lamb with rosemary and thyme, braised beef short rib, char-grilled cheese burgers,
mature cheddar and gouda, and creamy blue such as gorgonzola.
