Character & enjoyment
- In the glass
Deep ruby-garnet with a slightly brick-red rim – an indication of the progressive maturity of the 2017 vintage.
- On the nose
Expressive aromatic profile: ripe berries, cherries, and plum form the fruity base. Secondary notes of tobacco, damp earth, and cedarwood attest to the barrique aging. The bouquet shows tertiary development and the typical complexity of a matured Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wine.
- On the palate
Harmonious and dense with well-integrated, ripe tannins. The acidic structure supports the long finish. Berries, ripe plums, and fine roasted aromas from barrique aging in Serbian oak alternate. The wine is in an ideal drinking window and shows classic Bordeaux character with a Serbian interpretation.
- Food pairing recommendations
Aged hard cheese, game dishes with red wine jus, beef carpaccio, leg of lamb with herb crust, dark chocolate desserts.
- Serving recommendations
- Temperature: 16–18 °C
- Decanting time: 45 minutes
- Glass: Bordeaux glass
