very dark colour and a fairly syrupy appearance. It has aromas of wild berry fruits (raspberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants), spices, cinnamon and a touch of mint. It is very rich and fat on the palate with a long, silky finish. This is a wine of a rare complexity.

Serve at 17 - 18°C with Mediterranean food, spicy dishes, sauced meats, game and charcuteries.
