Ripe red and dark fruit open into liquorice, alpine herbs, mint and cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and enveloping, with concentrated fruit, well-integrated tannins and a savoury saline thread that keeps the richness composed. The finish is long, balanced and quietly powerful. Decant before serving with braised beef, venison, aged hard cheese or mushroom ragu.

Subtle vanilla, cedar and steeped prune open slowly, leading into dried black cherry, mocha, liquorice and star anise. The palate is dense and full-bodied, its concentrated fruit framed by close-grained tannins. Warmth builds without losing shape, carrying dark fruit and savoury spice through a long, composed finish.
