Tasting Notes
Wine dense ruby-purple color.
The wine has a rich, multi-layered, tempting taste with silky tannins, citrus and mineral notes, blending smoothly into the long finish with chocolate nuances.
The aroma of wine - a magical palette woven their notes of raspberry jam, mulberry wood spice and kirsch.
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. Petrus will make a wonderful couple with ham, gorgonzola cheese and other blue cheeses.
