Tasting Notes
-
Color: Deep ruby red with vibrant purple highlights.
-
On the Nose: Ripe dark fruit—plums, cherries, blackberries—balanced by spicy nuances such as licorice, sweet tobacco, and subtle oak (vanilla, cocoa). Herbal or balsamic touches may surface with age.
-
On the Palate: Full‑bodied and enveloping, with smooth yet structured tannins. Flavor layers include dark berries, perhaps a hint of floral (violets) or forest floor, plus oak‑borne notes of vanilla, cocoa, and spice. The wine finishes long, elegant, and persistent.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
-
Ideal Temperature: Serve around 18 °C (≈ 64 °F) for optimal aroma and flavour release.
-
Decanting: Open the bottle about 30 minutes to an hour before drinking, especially for younger vintages, to allow it to breathe. Large goblets with wide mouths lend best service.
