Full and rich flavour
Description: Deep dark ruby in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This wine features oak, raisins, plums, blackberries, dark chocolate, forest floor, figs, champagne mushrooms and mint. Medium+ body and tannins with good acidity and a long length.
Negatives: None

Drink now or in the next 15 years on its own or pair it with Duck served with wild mushrooms and fig sauce.
