Delheim Grand Reserve 1999

A collector's choice!!
Hints of cassis, violets and soft berries on the nose, rich vanilla and coffee flavours. Deep ruby colour and a promising nose combines well with layers of fruit enhanced by careful maturing in French barrels, Enjoy with richly sauced beef or loin of venison with wild mushrooms in a cabernet reduction over polenta.
