The colour is reminiscent of a bright red sapphire on the edges, flowing over into a dark intense ruby red.Prominent dark fruit on the nose within a frame of cinnamon, nutmeg and all spices from the American oak. Rum & raisin, Shiraz character comes through strongly- nuttiness, sundried tomatoes pesto, stewed fruit, leather, smoky and vanilla cigarillos. A sweet sensation combined with the tanginess of dried apricot and peaches flows over your palate. The Last Word is a sweetish dryness of plum fruit compote with a nice warm sensation.
We paired The Last Word with Gorgonzola, and gingery green fig preserve, and it was more than up to the challenge. It’s also good with peppercorn-infused dark chocolate, apricot tart tatin or manchego & membrillo.
