This deep ruby wine opens with pronounced aromas of black currant, plum, and mulling spices, layered with subtle hints of coffee bean and pipe tobacco. On the palate, it showcases a robust structure and velvety texture, delivering concentrated flavors of black cherry, marionberry, and dark chocolate. Nuances of leather add depth, all balanced by medium-plus acidity and firm, integrated tannins. An excellent companion to roasted lamb shoulder or herb-crusted venison with rosemary, sage, and garlic. Also pairs beautifully with wild mushroom and truffle dishes. Enjoy now or allow it to evolve gracefully over the next 3 to 8 years.
