Dark purplish-red with violet hues. The nose is intense and distinctly fruity, with black fruit predominating, complemented by toasted oak notes, vanilla and cocoa. On the palate, it is powerful yet supple, with ripe black fruit, firm yet ripe tannins and a lovely, balanced acidity. The finish is quite long and slightly toasty.
Tasting notes in brief: black fruit – powerful – vanilla – cocoa – supple – spicy
The wine is aged for 6 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels. This gives it more structure and the typical notes of vanilla, cocoa and toasted oak, without overpowering the youthful fruit.
Excellent with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, barbecued dishes, stews, pasta, rice dishes and pulses. It also pairs beautifully with strong cheeses. The producer recommends a serving temperature of 14–16°C.
