Deep, ruby red and beautifully shiny color. Nose that is full of red and black fruit with delightful notions of lightly toasted wood, vanilla, cocoa, leather and a deliciously fine pepper. In the mouth, this beautiful pallet only opens more and is guided by an impressive fine and balanced structure. The long finale is an exciting journey of discovery of new impulses and impressions and guarantees many years of aging potential! Wine of another dimension!
As with most Cabernets, it's best to bring a solid meat. Exclusive barbecue, grilled T-bone or Côte à l'Os, Filet Pur in a savory pepper sauce or as a delicious wine in itself that will undoubtedly make any wine fanatic dream away.
