Tasting notes
This wine from the excellent 2016 vintage had aromatic dark red fruit aromas with a hint of meatiness. On the palate it is dry with balanced acidity and well structured tannins. Excellent weight of ripe dark red fruits and a hint of cedar wood. The wine has layers of complex ripe fruit flavours with some vanilla tones. A delicious wine, with great length and a long finish. While this wine is drinking well it is capable of ageing for many years to come. 91 points Decanter Magazine
Food Suggestion: A classic with steak, any rich red meats, or a selection of aged hard cheeses.
