This is showing lots of dark fruit on the nose, with black cherry, raspberry and plum flavours. It offers hints of sweet spice, black pepper, cocoa, coffee and vanilla, with a generous, almost muscular, mid-palate and firm lush tannins. It finishes with bright acidity. This calls for wild boar or even bistecca fiorentina.
