Tasting Notes & Cellaring Advice
- Color: Deep garnet red, transitioning to brick-red with age.
- Nose: An intense, layered bouquet featuring concentrated dark fruits (black cherry, blackberry), savory garrigue, tobacco, and exotic Asian spices. A notable freshness provides lift.
- Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated, yet defined by a silky, velvety texture. The tannins are refined and the structure is seamless. The finish is pure, long, and complex, showing notes of crushed red berries and dried flowers.
Pairing & Serving
Decant for 1-2 hours when young, and serve slightly cool at 60°F (15.5°C). This wine is built for rich, flavorful dishes and has a reputation for aging gracefully for two decades or more.
