The nose is aromatic and layered, offering a captivating blend of forest floor and tomato leaf, which provide an earthy, herbaceous foundation. Hints of game and black pepper add a savory, spicy complexity, while the black fruit aromas of black currant and blackberries bring a ripe, juicy element. The subtle notes of cloves and nutmeg introduce a warm, spicy nuance that enhances the overall bouquet. On the palate, firm ripened tannins and lingering acidity provide structure, complemented by savory nuances and a touch of spice. Its deep ruby hue hints at maturity, while the balanced complexity promises a delightful drinking experience.
This exceptional wine can be paired with a variety of dishes including grilled lamb chops with a herb crust, wild mushroom risotto and grilled eggplant parmesan.
