A big wine loaded with tannin, this Oliver's Taranga Sagrantino is well placed to slice through rich protein dishes.
Black Forest cake makes the first impression. Blackberries, black cherries, dark chocolate, a flicker of rum n raisin and puffs of earthiness for good measure. Savoury notes of dried leaves, dried herbs, charred meat and a dash of baking spices chime in before plump tannins take hold offering plenty of chew. Generous, mouth-filling and lengthy, find that protein and you're set.
