"The color is red garnet. The nose exhibits nice spicy dark chocolate aromas. There is also some clove and ripe red fruits aromas. On the palate, the mouth is rich and stylish. The wine is balanced with smooth tannins and with ripe red fruits, dark chocolate and smoky flavors."
Wine & food pairing
"Paired with a filet mignon, game, lamb and grilled red meats."
