Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A brilliant, intense ruby-red when young, developing into complex garnet hues over time.
• Aromatics: An expressive and layered bouquet featuring core aromas of ripe red and black cherries, wild berries, and a hint of sweet spice. With maturity, expect sophisticated notes of leather, damp earth, and truffles to emerge.
• Flavour: The palate is full-bodied, rich, and beautifully structured. The tannins are present and firm, ensuring great longevity, yet they are remarkably refined. A superb balance of fruit concentration, minerality, and acidity leads to a profoundly long and elegant finish.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This wine is perfectly suited for a Sunday roast or an elegant dinner party. Its structure is ideal for rich, savoury dishes.

• Serving Tip: Best served slightly below room temperature (16°C). Decant for an hour or more if opening a younger bottle.
• Cellar Potential: Built to last, with a drinking window extending well over a decade.
