In the mouth
Rich and profound on the palate, with considerable depth and complexity. The wine unfolds with elegance, revealing multiple dimensions and a persistent finish that speaks to its pedigree.
On the nose
Ripe dark fruits mingle with spice and liquorice, whilst oak élevage contributes subtle toasted and vanilla undertones. The aromatic profile is layered and inviting.
On the eye
Deep garnet
Breeding
In barrels (predominantly new oak) for approximately 20 months
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted game birds—quail, for instance—accompanied by seasonal vegetables. The wine's structure and aromatic complexity complement the delicate gaminess of such dishes, whilst its tannins provide balance against richer preparations. A versatile choice for the discerning table.
