Winemaker’s tasting notes – Deep purple colour with a crimson rim. Intense and complex aromas of black fruits – elderberry, mulberry and morello cherries – with hints of eucalyptus and garrigue. Follows through to a full-bodied palate teeming with fruit, floral, chocolate and spice characters, well-structured with firm acidity and a long grippy tannin finish.
Food matching: barbecued meats, roast beef and pork, herb-and wine- braised game dishes, and aged full-flavoured cheeses like Stilton or Gorgonzola.
