The best barrels of the vintage are selected for their individual character, brought together in equal measure, and then returned to French oak for another year of maturation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat extra year allows the two varieties to settle into each other, building layers of dark fruit, spice and savoury complexity while retaining the structure and depth that made the original barrels worthy of selection. It is a wine that rewards a little patience, but is equally compelling now with some time to breathe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with char-grilled beef or lamb, slow-cooked dishes with rich sauces, a sharp hard cheese or dark chocolate.
