Attractively soft, creamy, chocolatey nose and a palate bathed in dusky spice. Lush, ripe and deep in hue, this is a plump and sensuous Merlot with flavours of hedgerow fruits and a fine, gently leafy finish.
Rich or spicy sausages such as Toulouse or chorizo. Lamb and roasted vegetable pasta are also favourites, all with a tomato based sauce.
