A deep ruby colour with an intense nose of cassis, blackberry, black cherry, dried sage, lavender and orange studded milk chocolate. Graphite, charred meat, potpourri and pie crust notes add complexity. The palate is dry and full bodied with firm but ripe tannins, crisp acidity and a lovely savoury/fruity mix of graphite minerality, paprika and cocoa with cassis, blackberry, dried blueberry and lots of clove and allspice on the long, savoury finish.
 
Pair this with slow roasted lamb shoulder, beef and black pepper stew with thyme or eggplant parmigiana.
