Dense, purplish red.

Hints of chocolate, leather, with traces of red fruit and plums.

Rounded and enveloping with soft, balanced and persuasive tannins with excellent acidity that enhances the drinkability and the capacity for ageing.

A fine accompaniment to main dishes like game and roast meat but also with cold meats, seasoned cheeses and traditional dishes. Recommended as a worthy finale to an evening meal or for pleasurable meditation.
