Rich and inviting, with aromas of blackberry, red plum, anise and mocha. The palate is luxurious and silky. The tannins are noticeable, but refined, forming a backbone without drying out the fruit. There is enough acidity to keep this full-bodied wine quaffable. Flavours of black fruits, mocha roasted red pepper and herbs. The finish is long, with sweet oak vanillin. Serve at cellar temperature with rack of lamb or beef kebabs.
