As this wine is made using selected grapes from vines of different ages, both nose and palate are distinguished by an elegant robustness. At first impact, it is immediately imposing, re ned and intense, fruity and spiced, with notes of blackcurrant, cherry, balsa wood, leather and liquorice, closing with a smoky note. The palate is rounded and considerably complex, with tannins conferring a decisive character without, however, impairing smoothness and balance. The very long and richly  flavoured finish is remarkable. Serve 18 – 20° C. A distinguished red to accompany decisively flavoured dishes: excellent as an accompaniment for kebabs, rich red meats, game, roasts and mature cheeses.
