This ruby red wine has an intense bouquet, ranging from plum jam notes to undertones of cherries in alcohol with hints of cacao. Notes of liquorice come through on the finish. It has a sweet and well-bodied palate, balanced by a pleasant acid note and firm tannins. A lingering aftertaste exalts the same rich bouquet revealed on the nose.
Food pairing: a dessert wine,it is best drunk with almond paste or dry sweets, and with blue cheeses (mature Gorgonzola, Roquefort, etc.).
Serving temperature: 20 °C
Recommended glass: a large bowl-shaped glass with an inward-curved rim: the wine can fully breathe, and the glass can be held better in hands. It will help the temperature rise gradually, and aid in the release of the complex fragrances of more structured wines.
