French Red
Fully evolved and savoury, with dried cherry, raspberry and prune framed by leather, forest floor and soft spice. The palate is graceful rather than heavy, its mature fruit carried by fine structure and a gently earthy finish. Serve cool and allow sediment to settle before pouring; it suits roast duck, mushroom dishes, game birds or aged soft cheese.
