Food pairing: Slow cooked beef stew with olives, orange, onions and garlic
the Mourvèdre component (40%) supplies a haunting bitter fruit edge but this is tempered by a mass of blackcurrant's from the Syrah (40%) and Grenache (20%). Plenty of complexity - hints of tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee perhaps. The Mourvèdre spends a year in new oak whilst the Syrah and Grenache are unoaked. The aroma is wonderful - on opening a burst of blackberries, which mellows in the glass to that earthy/minty/chocolate mass.
