Nose: ample, intense and refined, with excellent variety of aromas.
Palate: warm, robust, elegant with a persistent aroma.

AGING
This wine can be stored perfectly for 10 15 years, even longer for exceptional vintages.
Ideally, the bottle should be stored flat in a dark area at cellar conditions.

WINEMAKER'S RECOMMENDATIONS
The bottle should be uncorked as early as an hour before serving or decanted for a few minutes before being drunk. It should be served at a temperature of 64° 68°F. This wine is particularly suited for red meats, roasts, wild game and dry cheeses.
