Tasting notes

Appearance

Dark garnet color.

Nose

It has a rich and voluminous fragrance, with notes of ripe plums, cassis, black cherries, vanilla, cocoa, and spices.

Palate

The attack is soft and elegant, providing a solid body feel. The nuances of ripe blueberries from the grapes blend harmoniously with the barrel-aged spices, vanilla, and coffee. Firm yet smooth tannins beautifully complement the acidity.

Food pairing

Pairs well with Korean BBQ, roast lamb, stewed hamburgers, hard cheeses, Chinese meat dishes, and Wagyu beef steak.
