Ageing

Tasting profile
Deep red with a black-violet hue. The clean, concentrated nose shows ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and black plum with a light suggestion of toasted oak. The palate is intense, harmonious, richly flavoured and concentrated. Generous, well-integrated tannins support its elegance, freshness and length. The shorter cellar description additionally highlights ripe red fruit, a woody undertone, deep structure and a long, complex finish.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 20°C. Pair with substantial main courses, grilled meats, game or long-aged cheeses.
