Ageing

Technical data

Harvest takes place during the first ten days of October. Alcohol is approximately 14.5%.

Tasting profile

Ruby red with lightly garnet nuances. The broad, sweet-fruited bouquet combines ripe fruit with evident spice and woodland-floor notes. The palate has delicate, well-developed tannins, a full mid-palate and good acidic tension, followed by a persistent fruity aftertaste. It is characterised by substantial longevity.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 18–19°C. Pair with elaborate red-meat dishes, mushrooms, pâtés and mature cheeses.
