Tasting note
Ruby/red wine with purple highlights; packed with black fruit, especially blackberries and plums with spicy overtones hinting at black pepper and cinnamon; sweet, soft tannins come together in a closely-woven texture that merges with the fruit while a crisp freshness provides a long tasty finish.
This is a ruby-red wine with purple highlights. The nose is packed with black fruit, especially blackberries and plums, with slight spicy overtones hinting at black pepper and cinnamon. Sweet, soft tannins come together in a closely-woven texture that merges with the fruit, while a crisp freshness provides a long, tasty finish. This wine is at its best for 3-4 years following the harvest. Pairings: A perfect match for starters, cured meats and fresh and medium mature cheeses.
Plums and cherries reign on the palate, with fine acidity, but not with that over-the-top tartness. The black pepper and fruit spiced with bits of cardamom are perfect flavours, for Spaghetti Bolognese or mushroom risotto.
