Deep crimson in appearance. The bouquet is expressive & complex, black truffle, fresh leather, cigar humidifier overlaying dark cherry & satsuma plum. The hallmark of this wine is the layered complexity & super fine velvet tannins saturating the unwavering and harmonious palate. Sweet rhubarb tart, dried bay, & fresh black earth set the tone, powdery tannins & red fruited freshness complete a wine of great length & stature. Excellent with lamb chops with Spring peas & Dauphin potatoes or eggplant Parmigiana (Parmigiana di Melanzane)
