Ruby red of great brilliance with a slight shimmer of pomegranate on the surface.
First impression in the nose: rich in fruity notes of Amarena cherries, sour cherries and black currants, followed by elegant herbal nuances and fried pepper as well as coffee, vanilla bean and pink pepper. Exquisite and persuading the first impression on the tongue with fresh fruity notes, round tannins and a great elegance which is combined with spicy softness and well-balanced alcohol; persistent spicy finish with a hint of liquorice.
Perfect with stewed beef cheeks, lamb chop with rosemary, medium-matured sheep- and cowmilk-cheese.
