A simple wine that tastes of black currants, plum stones and throws in very dry tannins. The wood element shows with the smoky, meaty character, but mainly this is about fruit and acidity. Pure red fruit flavors with tart pomegranate mingle with aromas of purple flowers, pencil shavings and red licorice. This is a character- ful wine, full and intense with perfect balance on the palate. Tannins are elegant and unmistakably terroir-driven. Serve with charcuterie, pork, beef, dishes in sauce and mature cheeses
