Tasting notes
This complex and elegant red, bears a deep ruby color with blueish highlights. With an intense ripe red fruit expression, blackberry jam and sweet spices. The attack is full, smooth and fat, while tannins are fine and well coated. This vintage is generous, with a strong persistence in the palate and an elegant licorice finish.
Wine making
Vintage by hand, picked when fully mature and also sorted by hand, light crushing and destemming, permanent temperature control during fermentation, traditional maceration (about one month), ageing in big oak barrels during 18 months.
Food pairing
Game animals or feathered game, meats red, exotic meals, spicy food, cheese, desserts with chocolate
