Profile:
The wine displays a beautiful deep plum-red colour. Notes of wild bramble fruit and ripe prune are evident on the nose, with hints of dried herbs and underlying notes of toasted oak and vanilla. The entry on the palate is smooth and packed with blue and red fruit flavours. The tannins are finely textured, and the finish is clean with lingering notes of dried herbs and pepper spice. You can drink now, but the wine will be best over 10 years from vintage. Serve with herb-crusted rack of lamb with salsa verde.
