Slow cooked shoulder of beef lasagne with tomato
Exotic smoked cod (not anchovy) and wilted cavil Nero aromas abound. No new oak, yet captivating impressions of cedar and French oak polish. A tapenade of sun-dried tomatoes, and olives - very Sangiovese profile. Substantial.
Savoury, with a tempting nori (seaweedy) presence. A mouth-watering acidity courting firm yet ripe tannins … and artichoke/capsicum/caper/olive paste flavours. A long and wide palate.
