This dark wine has fruit aromas to match - blackberries, currant, black cherry - and I love the way those smells power past the oak effect. The oak has left its mark, with vanilla, cedar, tobacco and a hint of tar on the nose. The palate shows vibrant fruit and earthy notes, with a healthy dose of tannic strength and a racy acidity. I’m having it with chicken Dijonnaise, but thinking of a pork chop to pair with it.

80% Sangiovese with the rest a blend of cab franc, cab, merlot. A much more modern style, fresh and easy to drink.

A bordeaux blend of seven grape varieties. From the good 2016 vintage. I get a lot of cedar and dark red fruit. Full bodied and fine tannins. Drinking well right now but no hurry
