This wine displays enticing layers of red plum and black cherry and then mocha coffee and subtle vanilla and spice while on the palate it has a mouth filling lusciousness, densely packed with generous plum and dark cherry fruit flavours along with subtle floral violet characters and a smack of vanilla underlying the opulent oak expression. It is the ideal accompaniment to roasted or grilled meats such as beef or venison, as well as hard cheeses such as cheddar and parmesan.
