Bouquet

The nose, which is very expressive, shows a nice complexity of ripe fruit, well balanced by fresher notes. The intensity of the bouquet develops with aeration and the oak is well integrated.

Flavour

The first impression on the palate is one of silky roundness with impressive volume, overlaying extremely fi ne tannins. The wine develops slowly and gradually on the palate, following its logical path to a voluptuous mid-palate with beautiful density: always refi ned – never overpowering. The aromatic complexity, and delicious acidity are omni-present with a lovely long-lasting fruit fi nish ensuring freshness and lift

Pairing

Ideal with red meat, game, duck breast, white meat, cheese.
