Tasting Profile
- Nose: Blackcurrant, violet and rose, with cedar, graphite and a hint of sweet spice.
- Palate: Full yet graceful: layered dark fruit, fine powdery tannin and a cool freshness running through the middle.
- Finish: Fragrant and lasting, cassis and cedar with a mineral edge.
Serving & Food
Best left until the early 2030s at least. Roast fillet of beef, herb-crusted lamb or a truffled mushroom risotto bring out its finesse.
