Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromas of black cherry, cassis, wild strawberry, and mocha, underpinned by hints of graphite, cedar, and baking spice.
Palate: Supple yet structured, the wine exhibits juicy red and dark fruit—plum, black currant, and cherry—woven with notes of cocoa, dried sage, and warm oak. Silky tannins give it a lush texture, while refreshing acidity lifts the flavors.
Finish: Elegant and persistent, with lingering espresso, dark fruit, and polished oak notes that echo its complexity.
Pairings
Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged Gouda, or truffle-enhanced dishes.
