Colour
A solid garnet colour with rosy edges make this wine a stunner from the word go.

Bouquet
There is an explosion of mulberry, thyme and violets on the nose surrounded by smoky and earthy richness.

Palate
Layers of plum, Chanterelle mushrooms and dark chocolate fills the palate. The wine show tremendous complexity and the
finish are lingering and sumptuous.

Food
Serve this wine at 13-15 °C with fish, especially grilled salmon and seared tuna. It will also go absolutely perfect with coq au vin and any game bird dishes.

Also serve with everyday dishes such as cottage pie and meatloaf; with duck in fruity sauces, charcuterie or cold, sliced meat; and vegetarian dishes based on mushrooms.
