A black-cherry coloured wine with slight violet hues. High aromatic intensity, with aromas of ripe dark fruit, fine smoked notes with toasted aromas coming through. On the palate it is meaty and crisp, with a presence of well-polished tannins. Moderate acidity, with a long, pleasant finish in which the oak can be detected more distinctly. This wine pairs well with ham, mild cheeses, casseroles which are not too spicy, pulse stews, poultry, grilled and roast meat.
