The palate is in complete harmony. The warm fruit,fleshy and ripe, has juicy, mouthwatering black cherry, blackcurrant and mulberry flavours. Beautifully balanced, so the wine appears deceptively easy to drink, until the fully-ripe tannins come back on the finish for a beautiful, dry closure. Deep, dark plummy red still showing purple tint at rim. Inviting crushed berry fruit with mulberry, the signature note, backed by cinnamon and cloves of good, small oak. Also hints of smoky fennel and mocha, with a touch of gaminess and a good whiff of cigar smoke.
A very clever wine that is delightful to drink on its own. Serve, at 18 degrees Celsius, with the more delicate red meats: fillet with creamy sauces, prime rump, marinated lamb or grilled lamb cutlets, Perfect for chocolate mousse.
