With an intense ruby red colour, the bouquet has clear aromas of mature red fruits and tertiary notes thanks to the maturation of the wine in French oak barriques. On the palate, it is smooth, warm and powerful yet balanced with a surprising, fine aftertaste and a long finish. Perfect paired with cured meats and grilled or oven-baked oily fish.
