A structured, full-bodied wine with the elegant tannins characteristic of careful barrel ageing. A great wine which deserves patient bottle ageing of up to 10 years. 

Aged for 36 months in oak barrels (50% new oak).  

Deep ruby red with violet tinges. The nose delivers notes of spice, red berries and delicate oak aromas. The palate is powerful and tannic. Aromas of blackcurrant buds and vanilla. Licorice and spicy finish. A racy and seductive wine. A perfect wine for putting down. 

Food matches: Small game, red meat and cheese. 

Serves at: 16-18°C.
