Serving temperature: between 14° and 16°C.
Tasting
Deep red with ruby glints, this racy wine has pleasant aromas of red fruits backed by a firm but elegant tannic structure becoming more supple when matured. Raspberry, strawberry, cherry gradually give way to underbrush, spices (tobacco) and leather. Pleasantly round and very firm, this is a powerful, meaty wine.
Food pairings
Perfect with red meat (rib steak, roast beef, lamb etc.), vegetables gratin and exotic dishes.
