Tasting notes

The colour is a dark ruby red. The nose is very rich and well-ripened, notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, and strawberry which blend with vanilla notes from the barrel aging, After a pleasant acidity, the wine has powerful, dense tannins that linger on the palate as a long finish along with a rich aroma.

Food match

Recommended to match with steak with richly seasoned sauce like demi-glace sauce, and also with steak with spicy tasted using herbs and peppers.
