A rare gem This special release is intensely purple with red & black tints. It has a complex aroma of savoury beetroot, mint and spices with a touch of chocolate, plum and mulberry. The palate is plush and beautifully rounded, with flavours of beetroot, nutmeg, nutmeg, star anise, roasted vegetables and black fruit, with an underlying charry fountain pen ink characteristic. It is rich and textured, with an even, long finish. Pair this with a classic beef stroganoff. Drink fresh, or cellar 5-10 years. Consume within 3 days of opening for freshness.
