There is a finely grained nose of new French oak, gently toasted wood with focused red berry appeal. The palate has real energy, informed by more tightly grained wood structure over fruit notes of summer pudding, creme fraiche and some subtle dark spice. A hugely engaging expression of the great man's finest sites. Pair with rack of lamb, vegetable tagine, your finest hard cheese and steak rubbed with chinese five spice.
