Bouquet

The elegance of the fruit comes through, as does the chewy intensity of the drying process: leather, resin, prune, raisin and a little tobacco and licorice.

Flavour

Sleek and silky, offering black cherry coulis and dried cranberry fruit notes, with silky tannins and accents of star anise, dried rosemary and sage that linger on the juicy, long finish. The mouth feel is richly textured and bold.

Pairing

Roasted, grilled meat, game, aged cheeses (such as parmigiano or pecorino), risotto with amarone or red chicory
