  • Comment : Nice ruby color. In the nose, notes of red fruits. In the mouth, good mouthfeel and silky texture. Can be enjoyed in 5 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 red meats or with sauce, Cheeses with hard dough, femented, goat cheeses.
