Advice
Serving
Serve at room temperature.
On the palate
This has a delicious, supple, red fruit character of plums, blackcurrants and cherries backed up by good structure and ripe tannins. It will age well.
Food pairings
With its rounded tannins and long, mouthwatering finish, this wine is perfect with many meat dishes, particularly classic beef and lamb roasts.
