Serving suggestions

Enjoy it with roasted red meat or game that has been lightly caramelized and served with black fruit jelly. Match also with powerful cheese, Portuguese from Azeitão or a Roquefort.

Tasting Notes

Concentrated dark violet color. Generous nose with very intense aroma of crushed blackberries and blue berries. Complexity comes from deep floral scents and toasted barrel notes. Powerful mouth-feel from firm very ripe tannins and a very long finish that is complex and sustained.
