Character & enjoyment
- In the glass
Deep ruby garnet with purple highlights, dense viscosity, and a vibrant sheen.
- On the nose
The bouquet combines damp earth, violets, and freshly baked toast with an intense fruit core of currants, blackberries, and blueberries. Fine notes of dark chocolate and mint lend depth and precision to the aroma profile.
- On the palate
Full-bodied, dense, and velvety with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long, extractive, and spicy, supported by ripe forest fruits, plums, and cocoa. The 18 months of barrique aging are clearly integrated without wood dominance.
- Food pairing recommendations
Beef stews, roasted game with mushroom sauce, aged hard cheese, truffle dishes, dark bittersweet chocolate.
- Serving recommendations
- Temperature: 16–18 °C
- Decanting time: 45–60 minutes
- Glass: Large Bordeaux glass
