Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, attractive ruby-garnet.
• Nose: An intense and unmistakable bouquet of roasted coffee beans, rich cocoa, and sweet plum conserve, with a fresh, subtle lift of mint.

• Serving Temperature: 16-18°C.
• Food Matches: Excellent with Traditional Game Pie, Venison Stew with root vegetables, or strong, mature cheeses like a rich Cheddar or aged Gouda.
