Sommelier's Assessment

A deep-colored wine with an intense, sophisticated bouquet of cassis, tobacco leaf, graphite, and savoury spice. The structure is powerful yet impeccably elegant, showcasing fine-grained tannins and a signature vibrant acidity that ensures longevity. This is an investment wine with magnificent aging potential.

Food & Service

Recommended Pairings:
