Beaumont Vitruvian 2008

A complex blend of flavours gives this wine a rich but well knitted texture and flavour. Still youthfull with red berry fruit, fine grainy tannin and superb length. Keep it and let it evolve. It will be worth it.

Coq au vin, Italian sausage pasta, or a great piece of steak with spices such as cumin, pepper and coriander enhancing the natural spice of the wine.Music: Tom Waits - Early Years
