Description
ABV: 14.5%
APPEARANCE: Dense, deep purple
AROMAS: Initially oaky on the nose but opens up to show mature damson, black berry and plum fruit; spicy, smoky, dark chocolate and mocha notes may be apparent too
TASTE: Rich and concentrated dark red fruits with a savoury twist; altogether elegant and well balanced. Tannins are surprisingly mellow; full bodied, with a lovely long aftertaste
FOOD PAIRING: Serve with spicy foods, steaks, roasts, casseroles or mature hard cheeses
OVERALL: A stunning five grape blend (comprising Merlot, Tannat, Malbec, Teroldego & Cab Franc), made only in the best vintages. Powerful and with a great structure, the wine continues to evolve and still has considerable ageing potential. Ideally decant before drinking!
A previous vintage, the 2017, scored 89 points in Decanter (October 2019).
