Tasting Notes
A wine that captivates with its generous density, beautiful tannic structure, and intense aromas of black fruits such as Morello cherry and blackberry, subtly enhanced by a touch of cocoa.
The palate reveals silky tannins, accompanied by delicately licorice and spicy notes, while maintaining power and dynamism.
Food and Wine Pairing
This wine pairs well with red meats such as beef, lamb, or duck. For example, a grilled steak, leg of lamb, or duck breast.
