A dry red wine, deep ruby red with garnet highlights. Extremely elegant, well-balanced and velvety, but at the same time robust and complex, dry, full-bodied, generous and austere. It is incomparable with braised meats or roast game and with very mature, piquant cheeses. Excellent with raw tuna, sushi and with Thai, Vietnamese and Indian cuisine. Try sipping it, too, on its own, outside the context of a meal.

Inviting aromas of dark-skinned berry, pipe tobacco, cassis and cedar lead the way on this smooth, full-bodied, savory red. The concentrated balanced palate doles out ripe black currant, raspberry jam, nutmeg and pepper alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink through 2029.

Plush and juicy, with a mouthful of ripe strawberry and wild cherry fruit complemented by accents of licorice drop, espresso bean, smoky mineral and herb and spice, this is well-balanced and medium-bodied. Drink now through 2020.
