Tasting Notes
Wine noble ruby color with a purple hue.
Gorgeous, full-bodied, deep wine with silky tannins admire elegant, perfectly balanced taste, in which the tones of raspberry, plum and cherry perfectly complement the theme of minerals, black tea and incense. Long aftertaste has a great balance.
Rich, multi-faceted bouquet charms refined combination of flavors of black currant and ripe cherries, sweetish shades of mocha and caramel notes of tea leaves and underbrush.
Wine amazing both in pure form as an aperitif or in combination with dishes of Spanish, Italian food: pasta, hot Neapolitan, chicken in sherry in Spanish and others. It also served to dishes and more refined French cuisine: foie gras, truffles and white veal. By Petrus as snacks great choice of ham, cheese, Gorgonzola and other blue cheeses.
