About the Wine
The blend includes 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Carmenère. The wine spent 18 months in French oak barrels, with 70% new. The wine has at least 30 to 40 years of aging potential.
Tasting Notes
Deep purple colour. Very complex nose revealing aromas of black fruits, toast, vanilla, and floral and fresh notes. In the palate the wine is supple and round, the tannic structure is fine and silky, and the finish persists with a very pleasant aromatic back palate. A wine dense, fleshy with a remarkable depth and a perfect balance: refined and powerful tannins. Probably one of the greatest vintages of those two last years.
Pairing Recommendation
Pavé de boeuf, truffled mashed potatoes.
