The wine has a deep garnet colour. The nose shows ripe cherry and chocolate flavors which are rounded off with sandal wood aroma. The palate is full round with ripe peppery tannins and flavours like coffee, cherry and cigar box. The balanced acid creates a firm finish that is complemented by luscious and lingering sweetness.

Serve with rare roast of lamb, Lambs knuckles stewed with red onions, or a rich pork terrine.
