Colour: Deep garnet with subtle gradation to a lighter edge.
Nose: A melange of ripe plums, prunes and sweet dates with chocolate and toffee nuances and a complexity of spiced fruitcake.
Palate: Lush smooth medium bodied entry with well rounded ripe black berry and coffee flavours and a rich lingering aftertaste. Overall a medium bodied elegant red wine with plush intense fruit flavours of pleasing depth. An approachable, voluptuous, juicy red wine with good complexity.
Food suggestions: Full flavoured chicken dishes such as coq au vin, duck and cherry pie, braised venison and beef, lasagne and Mediterranean vegetable dishes.
