New Zealand, 75cl, 13.5%
This deep purple-magenta wine pairs beautifully with aged beef, venison, rich goulash, mushroom dishes, and mature cheeses. Its rich aroma blends black currant, plum, and blackberry with vanilla, sandalwood, lavender, black tea, dark chocolate, and spices. On the palate, it reveals prunes and blueberries, enlivened by spice and a long, subtly mineral finish.
