COLOUR Pale ruby, bright and clear AROMA A spicy, perfumed nose of wild thyme, leather, violets, dark cherries and plums. AGEING POTENTIAL Decant in its youth and serve with hearty beef stews full of carrots, thyme, rosemary and parsnips, or cellar with confidence for 12+ years from vintage. PALATE Structured and serious, the tannic framework is robust while still yielding luscious fruit and a silky texture in its youth. The fineness of the tannins is a feature and coupled with the impressive length of the finish, this is a wine to savour and cellar.
