If you can forgive the unnecessarily heavy bottle, this is a good buy. Hand-harvested grapes were fermented before being aged in French oak for 18 months, producing a wine with lovely red and black fruit flavours and a smoky, woody, spicy aroma with a hint of tobacco. Smooth tannins lead into a finish with savoury notes of pepper, smoke, tobacco, leather and spice. A great choice with roast beef.
