The mousse is impressive, with mauve purple colour followed by medium sized bead with short persistence. The nose displays aromas of liquorice, plum and stewed fruit. On the palate flavours of ripe plum, followed by a hint of earth and leather. Soft finish. Aftertaste of ripe plum, earth and leather.
A mature brick red with modest purple tints. Ripe, rich, fruitcake type aromas with aged mocha and chocolate complexity. Good mousse and depth of flavour on the palate with well balanced sweetness and acidity. Hints of earthy notes and a light porty note add interest. Enjoy as an aperitif or try with Peking duck and roast turkey.
