Expect possible aromas of ripe plum and dark berries, alongside hints of spice and earth; the exact character will depend on the bottle’s storage and condition.\n\nThe 2009 is best approached as a mature wine and is likely ready to drink. Its remaining ageing potential will vary by bottle, so checking its condition before opening is advisable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry it with roast lamb, grilled sausages, or a slow-cooked beef dish, whose savoury flavours can complement the wine’s mature fruit and spice.
