A bright garnet-red in the glass. Complex aromas suggesting violet, black cherry and damp earth. On the palate, silky and refined with subtle tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. Lovely balance between texture and acidity. Lingering finish with notes of cherry and candied fruit. Drinking now or can be cellared for a further 5-7 years. Rich yet subtle game dishes are called for here, such as roast saddle of hare or roast pigeon. Great also with Reblochon cheese.
