A deep mauve in color with a crimson hue. The nose is complex and earthy: rich leather, prunes, caramelized dates, coffee, black currant, meaty, wine gums and some toasty brown spice. These aromas are supported on the palate by red berries, plums and chocolate. The ripe fruits and chocolate mingle on the creamy palate. Saucy, savory characters add to the complexity with balanced tannins and sweetness to help round off the finish. 

This versatile wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif or with a wide variety of dishes like: bacon & eggs for breakfast; turkey with cranberry sauce at lunch; a medium spiced curry for dinner. Then a chocolate fondue or a cheese platter for desert.
