Eye
A shiny, dark, and deep red color.
Nose
Complex nose with aromas of stewed fruit, truffle, and spices. Notes of red cherries, strawberry, tobacco, and subtle oak have also been noted.
Palate
Powerful, full-bodied, and structured with a wonderful tannic intensity. It offers rich fruit expression (ripe plums, black fruit) with a firm, balanced structure and a long finish.
Pairing and Service
The structured and powerful nature of this wine makes it an excellent partner for rich, flavorful dishes. Game meats: Roasted pheasant, venison, or other game birds and wild boar stew. Grilled red meat: Such as a rib steak or roast lamb. Mushroom-stuffed pork tenderloin. Strong, aged cheeses.
