The nose develops notes of pepper, spices and dark cherry.

On the palate, the wine is round and powerful. Tannins are ripe and silky. Long aftertaste.

Service and cellaring

It can be served from now at 14-15° C or kept in cellar for 5 to 8 years.

Art of tasting

Owning great wines in your cellar is not enough, you also need to know how to serve them.
Temperature is an essential element around 53-57°F for the white and 55-59°F for the red. And if you don't have the right tasting glass which will amplify the wine's aromas, you may considerably reduce your tasting pleasure.
A great glass gives a large ventilation surface to the wine and a tightening neck, which allow the nose to grasp more casily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
