The bouquet is bursting with dark fruits and roasted nuts, with aromas of fresh black cherries, black currant, rose petal and roasted walnuts. Rich flavors of black cherries, toasted hazelnuts, fresh sage, mocha and subtle vanilla and oak flavors. Tannins are firm in their youth but will soften with age. Pairs well with grilled steak, short ribs, braised red cabbage and roasted duck.
