🍷 In the Glass
Pretty ruby red with a subtle garnet rim—bright at the core, hinting at just a touch of development.
👃 On the Nose
Clean and inviting, revealing leafy redcurrant, fresh raspberry, and a wisp of wild herb. Beneath, delicate undercurrents of truffle earthiness and soft tobacco leaf add depth.
🥂 On the Palate
Medium-bodied with silky, smooth edges. Flavors of juicy redcurrant and cherry are laced with gentle spice and a slender thread of mineral tension. A soft mouthfeel carries a faint whisper of forest floor richness through to a poised, lingering finish.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with duck breast with wild mushroom sauce, herb-roasted pork tenderloin, creamy polenta with sautéed greens, or a simple board of Brie and Camembert.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Delightful now for its fresh fruit and supple texture; hold for 3–5 years to uncover deeper earthy and savory nuances.
