Description
This wine offers a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, red cherries, cedar wood, cigar box, and graphite on the nose, with additional aromas of raspberry, black cherry, and subtle spice emerging with time in the glass. The palate is both concentrated and elegant, featuring fine-grained tannins that soften with air, resulting in a luxurious texture and a long, refined finish.
Food Pairing
This bold, structured wine pairs beautifully with rich red meats, especially rare to medium-rare preparations of steak, braised beef, or venison.
