The first whiff: an explosion of all the black fruit one can think of. Followed by layers of complexity: sweet spice, cloves and green pepper with undertones of peppermint crisp chocolate. Soft, ripe and subtle tannins follow through on the palate to create a wine that is drinkable now, but will definitely benefit from another 10 - 15 years bottle maturation.
Serve with guinea fowl (or chicken), hearty casseroles or grilled rosemary-flavoured lamb.
