Tasting Notes

Deep purple-red in colour with subtle garnet reflections. Expect intense aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and black cherry, complemented by hints of violet, warm spices, and cocoa. The palate begins structured and firm, then softens beautifully with decanting — revealing layered complexity, smooth tannins, and a lingering finish.

Food Pairing

Perfect with red meats, braised dishes, hearty stews, game, and aged cheeses. Also pairs well with flavourful international cuisines. Best served at cellar temperature.
