Light red cherry color with dark red reflections. Aromas of black cherries blend with earthy notes of forest floor and a hint of smoke. On the palate, flavors of caramelized strawberry, white pepper, and tobacco are supported by a touch of spice. The finish is flavorful, refreshing, and elegant.
Pairs well with fine charcuterie, veal, Iberian Presa, pheasant with Fine Champagne sauce, vegetarian dishes, and Asian curries.
