TASTING NOTES

Deep and bright rudby red color. Intense yet refined aromas of ripe black fruits like plums, black currants, and figs, intertwined with elegant oaky notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and licorice. As the wine opens, it reveals layered nuances of warm spices, forest floor, and a delicate hint of menthol adding depth and complexity. Broad and expansive, the palate showcases beautfitully ripened tannins that offer a velvety texture. A harmonious balance of concentrated back fruit and well-integrated oak imparts depth and elegance, leading to a long polished finish.

PAIRING

Red meat, game, and ripe cheeses. Try with Pyrenees cheese, black cherry jam, and walnut bread. Best served between 16°C and 18°C / 60°F and 64°F.
