In the mouth
The attack is smooth and inviting, leading to a full-bodied palate with excellent structure. Ripe dark fruits and spice notes persist across the mid-palate, supported by well-crafted tannins and judicious oak influence that enhances rather than dominates.
On the nose
The bouquet is notably intense, with rich blackberry and blackcurrant notes complemented by liquorice. Subtle vanilla and toasted oak nuances add elegance and complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the eye
Deep ruby-red robe with profound colour intensity and excellent clarity.
Breeding
Aged in new oak for 60% and 40% in one-year-old barrels for 12 months
This wine pairs beautifully with risotto finished with young Parmesan and Sarawak pepper. The wine's structure and fruit-forward character complement the creamy rice and subtle heat of the pepper, whilst the acidity cleanses the palate between spoonfuls.

À servir sur un risotto au jeune parmesan ou une viande rôtie, il se révèle dès maintenant tout en gagnant en complexité avec quelques années de garde.
