Drawn from the barrel, this has a lively and intense ruby color so rich it coats the sides of the glass. The bouquet has intense and slightly ripe notes of red fruit like raspberry or cherry while the other aromas are distinct, refined and quite complex and leave no trace wood. Fruit dominates the mouthfeel that is rich and soft with evident tannins and acidity, while the finish is fresh and above all long.
I imagine this to be good with suckling pig in a sesame crust accompanied a turnip purée with a little raspberry and blueberry jam.
