The wine has a deep ruby-red colour with purple hues, emphasising its concentration and youthfulness. On the nose, intense aromas of black fruit such as blackcurrant, blackberries and black cherries emerge, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper, bay leaf and a subtle woody touch of cedar and tobacco. On the palate the wine offers a full body with firm but ripe tannins. The structure is powerful and harmonious, with the fruity character nicely balanced by spicy and lightly toasted notes. The fresh acidity provides vibrancy and elegance. The finish is long and structured, with lingering notes of ripe fruit and a touch of spice, creating a refined and enjoyable aftertaste.
An excellent match for grilled red meat, stews, game and aged cheeses.
