Deep dark colour, it displays aromas of crushed black fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants, cherries), jam and cooked fruits, as well as smoky scents (peat) and spicy perfumes (cinnamon, thyme). This wine is round, rich and long-lasting on the palate with mature tannins on the finish. It is a well-balanced easy-drinking wine.
Serve at 17 - 18°C with traditional dishes or spicy food: stuffed tomatoes, lentils with salt pork, steak, chicken with ratatouille.
