Tasting Notes (Classic Profile)

• Appearance: Rich, deep ruby-garnet.
• Bouquet: Complex and classic Bordeaux. Expect ripe cassis and plum fruit, beautifully integrated with fine oak notes of polished cedar, cigar box, and a touch of sweet spice.
• Palate: Medium to full-bodied, showing great poise and depth. The tannins are firm but refined, providing the backbone for long-term ageing. The finish is persistent and elegant.
• Maturity: A wine that demands time. Best cellared for 5-15+ years to reach its full tertiary character.

Food Pairing & Serving

Serve at a cool room temperature (17°C-18°C) and ensure sufficient decanting time to allow the wine to breathe.

• Recommended Pairings: Traditional Sunday Roast Beef, Venison Wellington, or a rich Game Pie with port reduction.
