Medium-bodied, with soft, dry tannins which are in perfect balanace withthe berry-fruit. A black-pepper finish and delicate, lingering vanilla-oak, showing a sensitive use of wood. The colour is clear ruby red showing some signs of development at the rim. Crushed blackberries on the nose with herbal touches of fennel and cassis, with a slight smoky overlay. Serve at 16-18°C with casual steaks, grilled cutlets, sausages, pastas, pizzas and mild cheeses.
