Advice
Serving
Serve at room temperature.
On the palate
An elegant, balanced, attractive wine with crisp fruit, a pure and complete palate and good length. The large amount of new oak supports and complements the concentrated fruit.
Food pairings
This robust but elegant style of red would make a great match for a roast leg of lamb or sirloin steak.
Reviews
"Wood spices and dark chocolate with peppercorns, graphite and mushrooms to the dark cherry fruit. Some blackberries. Ripe and fine-veined, this has firm tannins, medium to full body and a pretty lengthy finish. Nice complexity here. Give it at least one more year to let the sweet wood spices integrate more." [+]
