AROMA:

Reduction noble aromas, notes of leather, spices, coffee, a wine that will improve its complex aroma with a brief oxygenation, with envelopes and very interesting flavours.

TASTE:

The mouth is alive, very balanced, elegant and delicious. With good acidity, ripe tannins, silky mouth passage, persistent medium-high.

The delicacy of this wine shows that their marriage will be with light meals, to not cover his structure. These could be beef carpaccio with shavings of foie, or most original dishes as confit of duck with light orange reduction.
