Tasting Note
This wine has an atypical, generous character, with good volume and depth, and subtle, complex fruit . A rich, opulent wine. In some years, it has balsamic, tar and cocoa aromas, and is much sought after by connoisseurs of cigars. Beautiful accompaniment to red meat, desserts with chocolate and red fruit, and exotic cuisine.
