"Bright, full ruby color. The initial aromatic sensation is of fruit, especially berries, giving way to spicy and savory aromas with a hint of liquorice and white and black pepper; tightly-knit on the palate with strong but supple tannins, an extremely moreish wine, almost Burgundian in its drinkability.
 
Pair with fragrant Mediterranean-style first courses; fried, grilled or roast red meats."
