FOOD MATCHING NOTE: 

Peppered beef with mushrooms and glazed onions or a simple filet mignon with green peppercorn cream sauce. Even less spicy dishes such as roast leg of lamb with mustard and red wine sauce. Otherwise the traditional pairing would be venison or game. 

TASTING NOTE: 

Intensely purple/black in colour, almost opaque. The nose is a concentrated wall of spices, mineral tones and dark berry fruits. Deeply concentrated, tight and seriously well structured, the palate is immense in its breadth and length showing a wealth of blackberry, fruits of the forest and spiced, wooded flavours. The firm finish means you won't forget this one easily.
