Tasting notes
Brambly red berry fruit with hints of mocha and espresso on the nose, joined by blackberry and floral notes. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a lightly spiced, tobacco-tinged finish, it was praised by critics as one of the most elegant Baron de Brane of recent years. Now mature and ready to drink, enjoy it with roast lamb, duck or hard cheeses.
