A robust wine, full bodied and earthy with blackberry, plum and sausage aromas as well as notes of cocoa, leather pepper and savoury herbs. Intense and opaque it has bright berries and dark fruit swirled with bitter chocolate, more spice and pepper and meaty char-grill flavours, good acidity and still youthful, chewy tannins.
A wine for protein based dishes, decant before serving or cellar for 2-5 more years.
