Organoleptic characteristics
Purple-red in colour with violet-ruby flashes. Deep and vertical on the nose with fruity aromas which intermingle to create a pervasive balanced bouquet. Cherries, plums and redcurrants are subsequently replaced by notes of spice and liquorice. The palate is forthright and full of character with tannins well to the fore, though it maintains plenty of softness and roundness. The finish is long and lingering. Demonstrably capable of ageing well for years.
Pairings
By no means a light table wine. Its structure and personality make it ideal with tastiest meat dishes. Excellent also with soups, cured meats and cheeses.
