Drinking Window: 2018 - 2024
This is a muscular wine showing a depth of inky black fruits and violet overtones, buttressed by grippy tannins and peripheral note of sweet cream, vanilla and spices. The mid-palate develops cocoa and tar richness, leading onto a long finish. Drink this with grilled red meats and game.
