Tasting Note
This modern, multi-layered and Bordeaux-style blend shows aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, plums and black pepper with nuances of pencil shaving and dried herbs. On the palate, the intense concentration is prompted by a firm tannin structure and layers of sweet fruit with excellent follow-through.
Food Pairing
This wine can be enjoyed on its own or paired with braised lamb shoulder or fillet mignon.
