TASTING NOTES
Intensely deep ruby red color with violet reflections. Complex fresh berry character with notes of cherries, blueberries and currants, further integrated by the elegant oak spices hinting of coffee and vanilla. Rich fruit, great concentration, complex, with diverse layers of supple tannins. A powerful wine of great elegant stature, best enjoyed at 18°C. Drinkable today, but it will age well for the next 10 years.
PAIRING
Perfect with important red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
