Tart berries and red cherry dominate the nose and are layered with red plum, tobacco, rainforest floor, cigar box and dried violets as it evolves in the glass. Tangy in the mouth - quite a bit of restraint here. Earthy flavours roll into red plum, cocoa, tealeaf and cherry, with spice trailing on a lengthy finish. Very good posture and balance.
Pair: Salmon, savoury mushroom soup or funghi pizza, roasted beets, turkey or sausage.
