Color: ruby with intense garnet tones and purple highlights. Nose: fine, with ripe black and red fruit, floral and vegetal notes. Spicy hint, notes of oak, toast and grilled bread. Palate: lovely balanced palate, supple, with a sappy edge and mellow tannins. Ample texture. Lovely acidity, leading into a long finish. Pairing: charcoal-grilled pork chop with cep sauce and braised carrots. Comment: a wine that can be enjoyed now or in 5 years.
