Even better than the 2009 vintage. Expect aromas of spiced plums, vanilla, dusty saddle leather, fresh savoury hebs and smoky undertones. The palate is smooth and is an echo of the aromas. Good length on the finish and it trails licorice root and sweet spice flavours.
Recommended Pairings: Beef, lamb, hearty pastas, stews, gourmet thin-crust pizzas
