| Tasting : |
Colour : Intense red with deep purple glints
Nose : Open, clean, and complex. Overtones of bilberry & blackcurrant, peppercorn, and a spike of mineral (rock)
Palate : Ample and generous. The palate is plump in the middle, evolving with fine, well-attired tannins
Goes with : While still young, this wine is the perfect accompaniment for cuisine featuring flesh and texture : Charcoal grilled beef ribs/Braised ox cheeks/Roast young guinea fowl
As the wine ages, the dishes such as young pigeon flesh or rolled venison will reveal the wine’s ampleness and show off its character
