Color: intense raspberry red hue, with garnet highlights. Nose: fresh and precise. Ripe red and black fruit, vanilla and liquorice. Palate: supple, fresh and ample attack, with fine, mellow tannins. Crunchy red fruit flavours. Delicate finish, with toasted, grilled hazelnut and chocolate notes. Pairing: slow-cooked shoulder of lamb, heritage vegetables and red wine jus. Comment: an approachable, pleasing wine that is enjoyable now but can be kept for 10 years.
