Bright deep garnet in color, this full-bodied wine offers a rich bouquet of ripe dark and red cherry, brambly fruits, spice, and leather, with a hint of smoky oak. The palate is round and mouth-filling with flavors of plum, brambly fruit, dark cherry, and a touch of savory herbs, all beautifully integrated with oak and supported by a silky, linear tannin structure. With excellent aging potential, it will develop intricate complexities over several years but is already delightful now. Perfectly paired with venison, duck, game, roasted beetroot, rare and tender lamb, and earthy wild mushrooms, it is best served at cool room temperature.
