Sweet, supple entry. Succulent cassis and plum fruit is
very accessible, yet well-structured with ripe, soft tannins. Fresh acid adds liveliness and vibrancy to a wine that has all the classic Merlot flavours. Deep plummy ruby colour with a bright crimson rim. Subtle aromas of mulberries, ripe plums, sweet cherries and mocha chocolate, backed by vanilla-oak and cinnamon-spice. The wood is there, but very much in the background. Serve with less assertive meat dishes like veal piccata, liver, lamb stew, stuffed turkey and chicken, or shepherd’s pie. Delicious with mild cheeses or enjoy at 16 - 18ºC on its own.
