Advice
Tasting
This complex wine has dense color and structure and features bright aromas of violets and blueberries, with ripe fruit flavors reminiscent of cherries, chocolate and cassis. Well-integrated tannins, oak and acidity give it a rich texture and a long, elegant finish.
Food pairings
It drinks well on release paired with rich meats and cheeses, however this wine will continue to improve with careful cellaring for up to 10 years
