Tasting notes

Fine, concentrated ruby red colour. Solid and dense in the mouth, presenting good structure and well=defined tannins. A long, lingering palate with notes of violets on the finish. The 2010 is an elegant wine with excellent balance.

Vinification

Vinification - traditional for the Chateau.

Ageing

18 to 20 months in 100% new French oak barriques.

Food pairing

Excellent as a meditation wine on its own, decanted at least 2 hours before serving it but also beautifully pairs with exquisite red meat dishes and a variety of elaborate cheeses.
