Tasting profile

Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The nose is intense, persistent and fine, combining floral, fruity and spicy notes. The palate is dry, warm and soft, with moderate freshness, evident but measured tannins and a savoury character. Full-bodied and balanced, it has considerable intensity, finesse and a very persistent finish.

Serving and pairing
