Tasting Notes

An intense ruby red color with shades of dark stone., garnet nuances on the glass edge.  The noise is of intense spicy notes of wood, cocoa and nutmeg. And a typical late floral hint of violet. On the pallet so flavors of red berries, spicy wood, and tobacco. Full, balanced, tannic, dry, and warming.  Serve with roasted meat dishes, such as Florentine Pheasant or Steak.

It is a soft, elegant, warm wine, with a long persistence and to be decanted on special occasions.
