Tasting notes
Medium-intensity garnet. Intense scents of undergrowth, leather and hide with hints of chocolate. Great structure with sweet, soft, unaccentuated tannins and a velvety presence of spice (pepper) on the palate.
Pairs well with
Grilled red and white meats, game dishes, medium-aged cheeses.
