The wine displays youth (brilliant, bright, red plum), and is fresh in colour. Complex fruit aromas, dark fruit (mulberry, blackberry & black cherry), but also some red cranberry fruit on the nose. Spice, cloves, nutmeg and a hint of pepper. The tannins are soft and extremely silky.
Excellent with grilled pork medallions, grilled tuna, lamb and beef. Great with brandy flambé matured steak, served with a creamy Madagascan green peppercorn sauce. Serve with hearty homemade soups in winter. Pairs to perfection with venison, e.g. Springbok and Kudu. Very well received with dark chocolate nougat, or mature cheese for dessert.
