Allen Meadows: “A more deeply pitched nose is composed by plum, earth, pepper, spice and various ripe dark berry aromas that are sufficiently ripe to possess a top note of menthol. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is very rich, indeed to the point that they are suave. There is fine volume and the dry extract coats the mouth on the solidly persistent finish where the peppery character of the nose reappears. This should also drink well young”. Pairing suggestions: Lamb’s rib with olive purée, flageolet light purée. Ideally served at: 16°C
