Intense ruby in the glass, with layered red cherry and plum joined by savoury spice, leather and a quiet tobacco note. The palate is full and concentrated, balancing ripe fruit with bright acidity and firm, polished tannins. Cedar and earthy detail build through the middle, while the finish remains long, structured and composed. Decant before serving with roast beef, braised game, mushroom dishes, truffles or mature hard cheese.
