Tasting comments

Shining with purple glints. Explosive nose unfolding roasted coffee, delicate spicy and blackberry notes. Mouth-filling and tannic for the time being, il will soften with age to become luscious and fruit-driven.

To be served with

This sturdy wine will go nicely with meat, lamb, casseroles and stews. Will be the worth the wait.
A full-bodied wine.
