A rich, ripe Burrowing Owl Pinot Noir from the warm 2015 vintage. The nose shows ripe black cherry, dried fig, black forest cake, dark chocolate, vanilla and pretty violet floral notes. The palate is intense and rich with silky tannins and flavours of liqueur chocolate cherries, plum, cocoa and black cherry with some complex liquorice and baking spice. This rich wine pairs well with bacon studded beef bourguignon or with lamb sausages with black cherry jam.
