Saturday, October 13, 2012 - WSET style tasting note
Colour - clear, moderate purple
Nose - moderate intensity, intense but elegant nose of plum, blackberries, vanilla, earth, violets
Palate - medium to full bodied, moderate acidity, high tannins, plenty of dark fruits and oak with some earthy herbs and violets. Long length.
Very nice and as it required loads of meaty protein to do it justice, it went very well with a medium rare cote de beouf with multiple sides of creamed spinach, sauted mushrooms and parmesan gnocchi in garlic oil.
