Tasting
Wine of elegant garnet colour, complex nose with remarkable aromas of prune, liquorice, truffle and cigar box. Very refined silky palate.
Drinking
It could be served with intense-flavoured recipes such as stews, game or lamb and would be great if you open and decant the wine 30 minutes before taste. Recommended temperature around 16°C.
