Brick red in colour with youthful crimson hues. Nose: Elevated notes of ripe plums, dark chocolate, exotic spices and charry oak influences enliven the senses. Palate: A balanced and focused palate, the flavours of fresh berries, cherry plums and dark chocolate feature predominantly, beautifully enhanced and complexed by the long lived natural tannins and classy French oak. A wine easily consumed whilst young but with clear rewards to those you choose to cellar for longer. Pair With: Navarin of lamb (a la Julia Child), or try after dinner with strong hard cheeses.
