Tasting Notes

Deep garnet with amber edges. Complex nose of dried cherry, leather, tobacco leaf and cedar. On the palate, remarkably smooth tannins with layers of dark fruit preserve, cocoa and warm spice. Extraordinarily long, elegant finish.

Food Pairings

Aged hard cheeses, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, venison, or enjoyed on its own as a contemplative wine. Decant 1 hour before serving at 16-18°C.
