Tasting notes

Appearance

Deep ruby.

Nose

The aroma is incredibly rich and complex. You can enjoy nuances of black currant, black cherry, black plum, blackberry, fig, and sour cherry, complemented by oak-aged notes of cedar, licorice, nutmeg, chocolate, coffee, cardamom, and vanilla. Hints of whipped cream and custard pudding from malolactic fermentation blend with aromas of leather, earth, prune, and caramel derived from bottle aging.

Palate

The balance between moderate acidity and fine tannins is exquisite, resulting in a very elegant wine. It has a dry mouthfeel and an excellent balance of flavors (black cherry, blackberry) and tannins.

Food pairing

This wine pairs well with black pork, lamb, aged cheeses, smoked cheeses, and smoked sausages.
