Thanks to its extraordinary characteristics and structure, this wine has an excellent longevity. Its intense garnet color, clarity, and warm ruby-red reflections are indications of its extraordinary richness and powerful structure. The full bouquet is characteristic, complex and very persistent, the palate austere and warm, and its considerable full body accentuated; the wine's superb balance and harmony are further exalted by sweet tannins. This wine is perfectly accompanied by important traditional meat dishes: it is optimal with braised beef, game and aged cheese.
