Tasting Note
Colour:
Medium to dark body and depth; purple-red and welcoming.
Nose:
Ripe white chocolate fruit aromatics begin in a lifted and pleasantly powerful way; some spice bouquet wafts in from deft oak, and then zephyrs of violets, fresh green herbs, star anise, and eucalyptus float by, at once there and then not there.
Entry:
There is a superb and beautifully underplayed supporting cast, however, of the round, smooth tannic grip, of warm vibrant freshly milled black pepper, of stewed plums doused with a shot of pastis and finished with a grating of dark chocolate.
Palate:
The mid-palate builds significantly before a more gentle and rolling aftertaste signs off. Textural and long is a neat recension of this red wine’s personality.
Food Pairing
Barbecue a sausage. Two sausages.
