Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby red colour; intense bouquet with a lovely blend of fruits and spices from the sweet wood in which it is aged. This wine is full-bodied and warm with a strong structure and smooth tannins. It expresses power, persistence, delicacy and great character.

Food Matching
A meditation wine to be opened on important occasions. It is also perfectly matched with stewed and roasted red meats, hare, wild boar and mature cheese
Open an hour before pouring and serve in crystal wine glasses. Bottles should be kept in a horizontal position, far from light sources and protected from both extremes and changes in temperature.
