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
This robust but elegant style of red would make a great match for a roast leg of lamb or sirloin steak.
Reviews
"Bright and juicy fruit such as fresh plums, cherries and a touch of minerals and grapefruit. Firm and pretty elegant for 2022 with a composed, medium-length finish. This has good short-term appeal. Drink now but should hold well in the next four to five years." [+]
