Tasting Comments

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red in color. The aroma is a complex interplay of rich black fruits such as blackberry and cassis with spices, licorice, cedar, and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, the powerful and dense structure unfolds, and the silky tannins smoothly envelop the tongue. The concentrated fruit flavor harmonizes with the vanilla and toasty aromas from the casks, leading to a long, elegant finish. This wine has great aging potential and will continue to grow in appeal even after decades of aging.

Pairing
Roast lamb, grilled beef fillet with red wine sauce, duck confit with lentils
