To the eye : the wine is dark and purple. On the nose : Blackberries dominate the nose, along with blackcurrants and blueberries. There is a more savage side exhibited in the notes of juniper and hawthorn. Even if in youth the nose is discreet, its class is always evident. . On the palate : concentrated and deep, but with elegance primordial. The tannins are fine, but a certain firmness holds place. A welcome minerality supports the finish. Drinking tips. Its elegant structure marries well with dishes such as saddle of lamb, rib steaks or duck breasts. . Serve at around 16C-17C. Will age well for 7-15 years.
