👁 In the Glass:
Brilliant ruby with garnet reflections, hinting at depth and age-worthy structure.

Ideal with duck breast, roast pork tenderloin, wild mushroom dishes or thyme-roasted root vegetables.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Showing beautifully now but will continue to evolve over the next 8–10 years.
