Cracked pepper and spice whiffs overlay bolder plum, blue fruit and a light violet nose. Flavours of ripe, juicy blue and black fruit are prominent on the palate. Plush, and succulent, the wine is both rich and rewarding. Agile and smooth textured, there's a suppleness to the mouthfeel which adds to its appeal. Oak is supportive, rather than assertive or overwhelming, with fine tannins. Lasting aftertaste and good length.
Meaty dishes and spicy foods like curries and pepper steak.
