Medium-bodied red🇪🇸 Rioja, Spain · Tempranillo
Dry, earthy and a little weathered, it is a plain-spoken red for a plain-spoken tragedy. Its dusty cherry fruit has a stubborn dignity, like Jude himself.

Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Old Tawny Port
Fortified red🇵🇹 Douro Valley, Portugal · Port blend
Nutty, amber and slow-sipping, with a sweetness shadowed by long regret. A small glass at the end of a heavy chapter is ideal.
