Tasting
notes: Color is a deep ruby red with violet reflections. Its fragrance
includes leather, liquorice, and intense berries, perfectly balanced
with a rich wood undertone that doesn’t overpower. On the palate it is
rich, with an incredibly long and satisfactory finish.
Serving Suggestions: Its characteristics are highlighted when paired
with braised and roasted meat, or hard, aged cheeses. Any rich flavor
will compliment this royal blend perfectly.
