This wine pours deep ruby-black and opens with intense aromas of plum, dark cherry, cassis and blueberry, layered with spice, tobacco, mint and a touch of dark chocolate. On the palate it’s broad and full-bodied, brightened by firm acidity and velvet-sweet tannins from 24 months ageing in oak. The finish is long, savoury and persistent, with elegant structure and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled rib-eye or smoky BBQ cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiced lamb tagine or rich root vegetable stew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheese: aged Manchego or robust blue cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A Malbec lover’s dream.
