Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a deep, concentrated ruby-purple color, reflecting the richness of the vintage. The bouquet is refined and layered, with blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice, often joined by hints of tobacco, crushed stone, and oak-derived nuance. On the palate, it is expected to be tightly woven yet generous, balancing ripe dark fruit with fresh acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins. The finish should be long and composed, with the kind of structure and depth that promises many years of graceful evolution. In magnum, it is especially suited to extended cellaring, likely developing beautifully over decades.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for premium dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or game with rich sauces, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C. Decanting is recommended, especially in the wine’s youth, to help the aromatics open and the structure integrate more fully.
