  • Comment : Limpid red ruby colour. In the nose, notes of morello cherry, red fruits. Aromatic length quite important. Powerfull and smooth tannins. Notes of red fruits and spices. Can be enjoyed in 8 years. Will taste at his best if served at normal temperature. If possible, open the bottle an hour or so before pouring to let the wine breathe. Try it with Grilled, Roasted White meats or with sauce, Games and hard dough cheeses.
