Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Lots of plum and cassis as well as hints of oak adorn this well-made blend. Dry and fruity with impeccable balance coming from the ripe tannins and fresh acidity. This is a medium-bodied, long-finishing wine. My note: Love it! Meaty, robust aromas of dark fruit and savoury bacon fat. Supple and long-lasting (on your palate not in the bottle). Food matches: grilled lamb chops, gourmet sausages.

This is a delicious food wine which will pair well with lamb dishes seasoned with rosemary.There are flavours of ripe, dark
berries. Definately a wine with ageing potential.
