Description
Prominent red fruit aromas and layers of almond and marzipan, underlined by subtle oak shavings and spice nuances. Red fruit aromas follow through onto a supple palate with gripping tannins and a lingering finish. Enjoy this wine with rich red meat dishes such as beef bourguignon and oxtail. Savour with fruitcake or other desserts containing hints of cinnamon or cloves. Amazing partner to a fillet mignon with a rich balsamic glaze.
