Violet, ripe plum and exotic spice rise first, followed by fresh leather and a quiet truffle note. Full-bodied and enveloping, the palate brings ripe black cherry and raspberry compote together with licorice, blood orange and tobacco. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity give the wine balance, while a salty mineral note lingers on the close. Serve with roast lamb, wild mushrooms or braised beef.
