The aromatics are inviting and plush, with dark fruit carrying through from nose to palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"751\"\u003eOn the palate, the wine is smooth and rounded, with gentle tannins and excellent length that give it a satisfying sense of structure without feeling heavy. It’s an easy wine to enjoy now, yet with enough depth and balance to reward time in the cellar over the next 8 to 10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"982\"\u003eA natural food wine, it pairs beautifully with roast pork or duck, or simply enjoyed at the kitchen table with good company.
