Powerful and intensely youthful, with blueberry, redcurrant, plum and mulberry joined by coffee bean, chocolate, allspice, Szechuan pepper and dry herbs. Richly textured and dense, the palate combines bright fruit with remarkably smooth tannins, precise balance and a long, spicy finish. Give it about four hours in a decanter and serve with roast lamb or beef.

Dark crimson and generous in style, with blackberry, blueberry and plum layered with pepper, dried herbs and savoury spice. The palate is full-bodied but approachable, its ripe fruit balanced by fresh acidity and supple tannins. A lightly earthy, peppery finish keeps the wine grounded and food-friendly. Serve with burgers, grilled lamb, mushroom dishes or smoky aubergine.
