Style : Red Wine

Tasting Note:
Deep ruby red with an intense hue. Dominated by ripe red fruits like blackcurrants, blackberries, and cherries. Some reviewers also detect hints of plum, spice (including pepper and tobacco), and even herbal notes. The first impression is often described as silky, delicate, and smooth. It has a medium to full body with fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins that feel elegant and harmonious. The flavors echo the aromas with a focus on dark fruit, with some reviewers mentioning additional notes like earthiness and minerality. The finish is described as persistent, subtle, and lingering.
Overall:
This is a well-balanced wine praised for its charm, roundness, and approachability. While enjoyable now, it also has the potential to age for 10-15 years in the cellar.
Food Pairing:
Good pairing with beef, lamb, deer, venison and poultry.
