A perfect companion for sumptuous meat dishes, or for luxuriously sipping on its own. A remarkable treat for discerning wine enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes

Dark ruby color. On the nose we have intense aromas of red fruit (blackcurrant), vanilla, and some roasted notes. The mouth is very fine, the tannins are well rounded and melted. Long and silky finish.
