This wine is a dark ruby red colour, with superb youthful glints of deep purple. The nose is very fresh, with aromas of violet, blackcurrant and dark fruits - but also red fruits, cedar and spices. It is light and fresh in the mouth, with a nice balance of roudedness and intensity, finishing on a peppery note combined with dark fruits.
Enjoy with a wild mushroom omelette, beef filets, veal stew, or with a dessert of chocolate and cherry cake
