Tasting notes

Dark garnet colour with vibrant violet rim. Primary aromas of ripe red currant and blueberry reveal complex hints of clove, vanilla and mint when left to oxygenate.
The palate is well-balanced between firm tannins, fruity and mineral hints while showing subtle, elegant spicy notes. The persistent, vibrant finish shows good potential for ageing.

Suggested marriage

beef and game dishes (wagyu steak), hard cheese with less than 12 months of maturation, washed-rind cheeses
