Tasting

Inky dark core and a ruby hue. The nose already shows some maturity and complexity with ripe dark fruit, black truffle, cassis, fine oak, leather and tobacco leaf. Dense palate with good volume, grainy tannin, fine oak notes, coffee and mocha with layers of crushed dark berries, mild spices and a long lingering finish. Nicely done.

Serve between 15 and 18 ºC.

Ideal pairing with red meats.
