Colour: Intense black velvet tonality to the edge
Nose: Generous layers of red roses and violets, ripe cherry, liquorice, nutty aromas integrated with vanilla oak complexity.
Palate: Rich and smooth medium bodied entry with intense ripe black cherry and plum flavours supported by fine ripe tannins and a 'sweet' vanilla spice and red berry finish.
Overall: Impressive yet graceful and smooth with tru expression of variety. Softly structured but with sufficient intense fruit and firm tannin support to promise great potential on further bottle maturation.
Hearty beef or lamb stews, Moroccan style meat dishes, Moussaka or aubergine dishes, roast duck with fruit sauces, mature cheese.
