Aroma and flavour
On the nose, ripe black berries – such as blackberry and blackcurrant – are joined by subtle spicy notes and a hint of cocoa and chocolate.

The fruity character remains dominant through the mid-palate, while the finish lingers with a blend of black fruits and delicate spice.
Serving suggestions and food pairing

Before serving, chill to around 16–18 °C and, if possible, allow a short time to breathe (decanting or swirling in the glass) so that the aromas can fully open up.
