Color: Dark inky red in colour with a majestic purple hue. Nose: Ripe black fruits of mulberry and blackberries with voluptuous smoky French oak spice. Palate: Richly textured and full bodied, flavors of blackberries and steeped fruit cake spice. The silky tannins provide a persistent mouthfeel which is anything but subtle but seamlessly integrated and brazenly long lasting. Food Match: Thick chargrilled steak, spit roast, Smoky BBQ ribs or duck paté. Not for the faint-hearted.
