Beautiful red wine made at a temperature of about 28° C followed by a maceration period of 12 days followed by fermentation in vats. It is then aged in French and American oak barrels for a period of 18 months followed by 12 months additional ageing in bottle. With the perfect shade of deep purple color, the nose has pronounced aromas of tobacco, with a hint of black pepper, vanilla and licorice. The balance of tannins leaves a lingering finish with hints of spice making this wine a fine partner for red meats, game, cheeses and blue-veined cheeses.
