Fresh, stylish, mature.
Expect fresh and spicy aromas with currants, roasted bell peppers, licorice, mocha, vanilla and dried herbs. It is getting some secondary characters that come with age. Earthy and again spicy on the palate as well; it is still quite fresh with tobacco flavours holding tight. The tannins have benefitted from some bottle and barrel maturing.
Pair:hearty pastas with tomato ragu, game meats or bean chili.
