Description
Tasting Notes
Ruby red with garnet rim. Vibrant, generous aromas with clear hints of bottled cherries, chocolate, vanilla, carob, dark spice, liquorice, Virginia tobacco, closing on an enjoyably lingering balsam sensation. The palate is velvety, rounded, beautifully structured, very fresh and perfectly tangy. Close-knit, well-measured tannins and a long, lingering, balsamic finish.
Food Pairing
Stewed lamb.
