The palate is supple and finely textured, carrying pulpy red fruit through delicate tannins and bright freshness. A light savoury note appears with air, while the finish remains graceful, clean and quietly persistent. The larger format should benefit from time in a decanter; serve with roast chicken, duck, charcuterie or mushroom dishes.
