This wine boasts a deep, dense purple-crimson hue that hints at its complexity and strength. The standout attributes are notes of elegant toffee, dark chocolate and toasted almond, all of which are complemented by a blackberry bouquet and luscious layers of intense varietal fruit. Potential food pairings include cheddar cheese, lamb chops with roasted root vegetables, coq au vin, beef stew and blackberry sorbet.
