Tasting Notes

Color: Deep, opaque ruby. Aroma: A complex bouquet of blackberries, violets, dark chocolate, graphite, and a hint of toasted oak. Palate: Powerful yet graceful — with layers of ripe black fruit, spice, and mineral undertones. Silky tannins, exceptional balance, and a finish that seems endless.

Food Pairing

A wine that deserves fine cuisine — best enjoyed with grilled Iberian pork, lamb shoulder, or beef tenderloin.It also pairs exquisitely with aged cheeses such as Manchego Viejo or Comté Réserve.
