A dry red wine from the Tannat variety, with a bright, deep purple colour and violet hues. It has intense and complex aromas, dominated by spices and dried red fruits mixed with leather notes. On the palate we have a wine with excellent structure, ripe tannins and a long finish, with subtle aromas of vanilla and wood. It can be aged up to about ten years and can be paired with grilled meat, meat cooked with a rich sauce, game, and white fatty aged cheeses.<\/p>\n
