Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Intense notes of plum, liquorice, and dark chocolate are layered with hints of vanilla, roasted coffee, and a subtle peaty or iodine undertone.
• Palate: Dense and paste-like in texture, revealing concentrated flavours of elderberry, blackberry, and mocha, interwoven with soft baking spices and a touch of earthy, basted meat.
• Finish: Powerful, yet elegantly structured with silky tannins and a long, enduring finish that speaks of its significant aging potential.

• Aged Beef: Prime rib roast, slow-cooked short ribs, or a dry-aged striploin steak.
• Game Meats: Roasted venison, braised duck, or grilled quail.
