Description  Dark ruby colour. With longer maturing, it takes on dark red hues. A noble bouquet, with intense aromas of violets and a sophisticated spiciness. On the palate, this wine offers a rich, full and seamless texture with balsamic notes of black and red fruits in abundance, flavours of blueberries, dark liquorice and blackcurrants. Sweet spices, dark dried fruits and cardamom linger on a long, persistent charry finish. The wine is full-bodied, complex, with ripe and plush tannins and pleasant acidity. Over the years of maturing, the structure gains elegance and finesse of flavour, while keeping its freshenss, fruitiness, and harmony of taste. Long, fresh and noble aftertaste. A Vibrant Wine.

Great potential for bottle maturing.

Roasted pork and game, especially when accented with spices, bring out the fruity character of the wine.
