Tasting notes

• Appearance
  Ruby color with hints of garnet.
  
• Nose
  From the first sniff, the wine delights us with nuances of black currants, black cherries, candied plums, blackberries, violets, complemented by subtle hints of black pepper, cocoa, and wood derived from aging in oak barrels.
  
• Palate
  The taste is well-structured, ample, with mature and fine tannins that provide a velvety, creamy, and exceptionally flavorful sensation. Towards the finish, it reminds us of the oak barrel aging with subtle hints of cocoa and dark chocolate.
  
• Food pairing
  Smoked ribs, beef or lamb steaks, yakiniku or shabu-shabu with beef.
