Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows black cream, blackberry and black pepper. Some nougat and dark chocolate underline these aromas. Juicy and fresh, the wine is carried by a balanced tannin and an elegant acidity structure. It is a wonderful accompaniment to food, especially with hearty meat and mushroom dishes.
