A deep ruby-red colour with garnet reflections at the rim, indicating some ageing. The nose is complex and inviting, showcasing a blend of ripe dark fruit aromas like black cherry, blackberry, and plum, derived primarily from the Merlot. These are interwoven with notes of spice, such as black pepper and clove, contributed by the Syrah and Petit Verdot, along with subtle hints of tobacco and cedar from the Cabernet Sauvignon. A touch of balsamic adds further complexity and depth to the aromatic profile.
This wine is full-bodied and well-structured on the palate, with smooth, integrated tannins and a balanced acidity. The rich dark fruit flavours from the nose are echoed on the palate, complemented by the spicy and savoury notes. The blend of grape varieties contributes to a complex and harmonious palate with a long and persistent finish. The wine's structure and complexity make it an excellent pairing for rich and flavorful dishes. It pairs particularly well with grilled or roasted red meats such as beef, lamb, and game, hearty stews, mature cheeses, and dishes with rich sauces. Its balanced structure also makes it enjoyable on its own for contemplation.
