Bouquet
The aroma blends fruit and savoury notes. Tobacco
and cigars give way to dark chocolate & stewed
plums
Palate
Despite the generous dosage the palate is still
dominated by the more savoury notes.
Cigar box and a leathery mid palate mix with some
chocolate. plum, and prune rich fruit characters.
The flavor lingers in your mouth and the firm tannins
of Malbec are softened with the long bottle ageing.
As the wine finishes the combination of all the
elements blends to give a full bodied but mellow
finale.
Food Matches
A full flavoured sparkling red wine suits full flavoured
food. Try is with some BBQ fare, particularly big cuts of
meat. Beef rump, Lamb shoulder, Pork ribs.
