Give this a swift decant and you’ll be met with blood plums, mulberry and notes of cherry cola. There are some cedar, carob and dark chocolate swirls. The velvety plushness that the variety offers is here in spades. A good lick of acidity keeps the wine ticking over. Some coffee and dried cherry to finish. Drink now with BBQ meat lovers pizza. This could handle a chill too and be drunk with a bitter dark chocolate dessert or crumbly cheddar cheese.
