Tasting Note

Deep ruby red in color, with a nose of raspberries, spices, vanilla and a hint of violet. Rich and complex with well-blended tannins, showing flavors of jammy red fruit with a touch of vanilla and developing earthy notes and hints of truffles. Serve with duck with red fruit sauce, lamb shoulder, wild boar stew, and chocolate cake.
