Deep crimson in color, it sparkles with purple reflections. It's very intense, persistent bouquet of violets, cherries and red berry fruit shows subtle, elegant notes of vanilla and toasted wood, minerally nuances and hints of leather, chocolate, black pepper and cinnamon... An exquisite palette of aromas confirmed on the full, lush, flavorful palate characterized by sweet, mellow, "fat" tannins and velvety texture. Long, lingering finish. Pair with rich, structured dishes, meat, game, seasoned cheeses.
