This wine can be consumed immediately but will continue to mature in the bottle. Characteristics are a deep ruby colour, rounded body and aromas of blackberries and pepper. If drunk young the LBV does not require decanting but after time it will throw off naturally occurring sediment and would benefit from careful decanting. Ideal on its own, it also combines well with strong cheeses and dried fruits. (6 x 75 cl)
