Food pairing: roast chicken stuffed with liver and chestnuts
An edge of orange peel, a smidgen of grapefruit (on the nose at least) and a distinct nutty finish. A weighty palate, some richness but fresh and blessed with a long length. The wine does have some character, a refined feel and, as the rear label states some 'elegance and charm'. This is not a big, buttery wine but it does lack a little in texture and layers of flavour.
