Ripe warm summer plums and cherry, hints of decadent dark chocolate and earthy coffee. The palate shows an impressive array of complex sweet flavours - plum, black cherry and a touch of mocha, followed by firm ripe tannins that give a well-balanced persistent aftertaste.

Serve with spicy cold meats, oxtail and venison.
