Dark, red and intense with a firm tannic backbone and plenty of black-berry, plum and spicy currant flavours, picking up cedary spice, oak and tobacco notes. Complex and concentrated, but still a bit reined-in.

Definitely red meat, preferably roast beef, well-hung game, goose or duck. Mature cheddar cheese too. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS: AlcoholPHTotal aciditySugar :::: 13.5 vol %3.66.5 g/lDry
