Swiss International Air Lines Wine Awards 2006 – Bronze
Bronze - International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2005
Deep opaque, ruby black appearance and still showing youth. The bouquet is typical of the variety with pronounced cassis, blackberry and underlying spiciness and creaminess coming from the new oak. Palate is full but elegant, with soft black fruit juiciness and very firm ripe tannins. The wine has a long lingering taste in the mouth.
Best enjoyed with red meats and cheese.
