WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Red, with yellowish orange hints due to the ageing process. Dry, velvety and austere, with a bouquet of faded rose, violet, spicy and rich with gorgeous ripe fruit, very aromatic. Aged three years in large oak casks and in bottles for the final six months.
Pair with red meat, game, and pungent cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
This has an earthy character, with hints of dried strawberries and cherries, dried orange peel and a touch of undergrowth. Solid and structured with medium to full body and firm tannins. Complete and lingering. Try after 2027.
