Deep garnet in colour with a lovely bouquet of cherry, red currant, new oak, blackberry and violet. Full-bodied, firm but not aggressive, with an elegant side. Ripe fruit flavours of red and black berries with well-integrated notes of spice and oak. The long lingering finish is perfectly balanced by notes of red fruits and blackberries, and soft oak and earth.
Serve at a cool room temperature of 16 to 18ËšC. Enjoy with grilled medium-rare red meats; rack of lamb; rich mushroom based dishes; black bean stews; 2-year-old Canadian cheddar. Enjoy now or cellar through 2026. Decanting is recommended if drinking now through 2020.
