Wine tasting notes
This wine is deep violet in colour. On the nose, there are intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits with a blend of sweet spices and subtle toast. The French oak is very well-integrated and displays notes of coffee and chocolate. This wine is well-balanced, complex and elegant, with round tannins, tremendous structure, and a long and pleasing finish.
Food matching
Big and meaty is what you're after with this wine. Consider a juicy joint of beef or a leg of lamb or a haunch of venison, and a board of rich, full cheeses to follow (though approach blue cheese with caution). It can stand up to hints of spice, so lighter meats such as chicken can be marinated with ingredients such as ginger, black pepper and even some chilli. Avoid seafood and cream.
