Tasting note

Intense ruby, complex bouquet with highly elegant red fruits. Powerful and concentrated on the palate with sweet balanced tannins and a very long, fine, finish. This will age very well.

In the press

Slightly cloudy dark ruby. Very neat, nicely integrated nose with definite freshness. Some mineral/iodine/oyster-shell undertow. Very grown-up wine with no suggestion of heat. Bone-dry finish. Cries out for food. Meat probably as the tannins are still in evidence. Just light sweetness that denotes fully ripe fruit. Drink 2019-2032

Food Match

Red meats, game, wild mushrooms, sausages, hearty stews.
