Tasting Notes

• Meat: Grilled red meats, big game stews (wild boar, deer), and roasts such as lamb.

• Cheeses: Cured and semi-cured cheeses.

Service Temperature

For the 2019 vintage, a wine with a cellaring potential of more than 15 years, it is advisable to decant it at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to aerate and better express its aromas.
