Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 15.5%

APPEARANCE
Opaque cherry-red hue with a purple rim.
Dense, abundant tears.

NOSE
The nose has notes of dark fruit such as ripe blueberries, with subtle undertones of pastries, as well as hints of toasted grain.

PALATE
It is broad on entry and refreshing on the palate, thanks to its well-integrated minerality.
It has aromas of dark fruit such as wild berries, blackberries and plums, together with expressive flavors from oak aging: chocolate, truffle and black licorice.

AGEING
100% French oak, medium toasted and of third use.

PAIRING
An intense, full-bodied wine like this calls for complex game dishes with plenty of fat, such as suckling-pig terrine, or venison tenderloin with pomegranate sauce.
