Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 13%

APPEARANCE
Beautiful garnet with purplish highlights.

NOSE
The nose is highly aromatic, delivering welldefined aromas of both black and red fruits. Delicate floral and dark chocolate notes develop in the glass.

PALATE
The attack is ample, supple and full-bodied. The very generous mid-palate, marked by fine, beautifully coated tannins, evolves towards a fresh, persistent finish. Very well-balanced and delicious.

AGEING
12 months in French oak barrels (30% new oak, 70% used once).

PAIRING
It pairs beautifully with roast lamb or beef tenderloin, duck and poultry dishes; hearty fish like tuna or salmon; and Asian cuisine.
