Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: Deep ruby red color, with garnet reflections indicating its nobility.
-
Nose: A complex and layered olfactory profile. Notes of wild blackberry and blackcurrant emerge, intertwined with hints of undergrowth, licorice, and a delicate spiciness resulting from skillful use of wood.
-
Palate: Powerful yet balanced. The tannic texture is dense and velvety, supported by a mineral freshness that confers depth. The sip evolves elegantly towards a long, savory, and persistent finish.
Pairings and Serving
A wine of this caliber requires dishes with structure and intensity:
-
Red Meats: Beef fillet with green peppercorns or slow-cooked braised meats.
-
Game: Ideal with partridge or feathered game dishes.
-
Cheeses: Aged cheeses or washed-rind cheeses (such as Epoisses).
Sommelier's Tip: To fully appreciate its complexity, it is recommended to uncork the bottle at least one hour before serving. Use large glasses and serve at 16-18°C.
