Deep cherry red in color. The nose is attractive and complex, combining the fruit driven notes from the blend of varieties with those from the ageing in French and American oak barrels. The palate is well rounded, with the clear presence of supple, silky tannins and concludes with a long and very pleasing finish. We have here a wine which will evolve and develop well in the bottle over the years to come. In terms of food matching, our suggestions include oily fish, game, red meats and cured cheeses.
