Visual aspect: a bold carmine hue.
Nose: expressive on aromas of smoked meat, a balsamic hint and a touch of Lapsang Souchang tea on a backdrop of crushed blackberry.
Palate: supple initially, yet generous, on balsamic roasted flavours. Concentration, firm, tightly-knit tannin requiring time to become more refined. The finish reveals distinct maturation hints.
Match with food: lamb tajine with smoked prunes.
Comments: decant this wine to enjoy it fully.
