An intense rubis purple colour. The nose develops aromas of ripe red and black grilled fruits. The palate reveals a magnificient density and the presence of tannins, both soft and elegant. A lovely finish on the fruits. This wine is best served at 18-19°C and pairs well with red meat, grilled or in sauce, and cheese.
