Tasting Notes

Appearance: A very deep ruby
Nose: Ripe blackberry, garrigue, licorice and spice
Palate: Intense and concentrated, blackberry, morello cherry and spice; silky tannins bring structure and depth to the wine; elegant and powerful, distinctly masculine

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy with roast beef, venison, duck and roasted vegetables. Decant for several hours and serve at room temperature.

This has dark, brooding aromas of crushed plum and black tea, followed by rich yet racy graphite, espresso, singed iron and mulled blackberry fruit. The long, sleek finish lets the iron note hang on. Dense, but pure at the core, with solid grip.

Decanter World Wine Awards, France: Bronze winner
"Earthy with liquorice, plums and smoke; dense, fresh and precise with a coffee-tinged finish."
