TASTING NOTE

Colour: a deep, bright garnet red

Nose: intense fruity perfumes that are reminiscent of cherries and wild berries (bilberries, dewberries), with faint hints of cacao

Flavour: this wine is concentrated and mouth-filling on the palate. It has gentle, elegant and velvety tannins, and its fruit is rich, deep and long on the finish

Serving suggestions: this is a red wine of great personality and power, which goes well with meat dishes (even rather complex or fullflavoured ones): roasts, grilled red meats such as chops and steaks, lamb and game. It is also excellent for accompanying mature cheeses

Note: it has great ageing potential

Alcohol: 13,5% vol
