Bright ruby red in the glass. Intensely aromatic with notes of maraschino cherry, cherry pit, porcini mushroom with a touch of vanilla and nutmeg. On the palate, it is dry, medium-bodied with soft tannins and refreshing acidity with flavours of cherry, truffles, mushrooms, dark chocolate-covered raisins, vanilla and baking spice. The finish is long and complex with a savory and slightly smoky finish. Compelling on its own will also complement simple roast chicken with mushrooms, grilled salmon or duck breast. Drinking well on release but will develop further complexities with short to medium-term aging
