A rich harmonious full bodied wine with juicy dark fruit, savoury smoked ham, all spice and aromatic wood aromas. The wine has a coating mid palate and a long finish. The acid is bright and the tannins are ripe and present.
A rich and spicy wine which is great paired with French country dishes such as Cassoulet or a Beef Daube Provencal. It is also delicious with grilled regional sausages e.g. Toulouse. Amazing with simply prepared dry-aged rump or ribeye steak, seasoned with a little sea salt and crushed black pepper and a few pan fried mushrooms, ideally cepes or porcinis and a dash of the best extra virgin olive oil.
