Deep purple black colour with a lovely bouquet of baked blue plum and black cherry fruit, mingling with violet, charred oak, sweet spice and melted dark chocolate.

This full-bodied wine has soft yet drying tannins, great structure, and plenty of juicy, dark fruit flavours, accented by notes of dark chocolate.

Wonderful warming notes of black tea, cocoa powder, black currant, black cherry, spice, vanilla extract and oak linger on the finish.

Serve with spiced London broils; braised meats; rosemary lamb dishes; herbes de Provence scented roasted potatoes; steak with peppercorn sauce; bean and lentil stews; spiced veggie lentil burger; aged Beemster Gouda.
