On the palate, the wine is rich and textured with a silky mouthfeel, balanced acidity, and fine tannins. It is a medium-bodied wine that is perfect for pairing with roasted meats, game, and mushroom-based dishes.
Spice, pepper, cloves and liquorice, are mixed with cherry, fruit of the forest, Bram berry compote and floral notes. A smooth and elegant entrance is followed by a silken soft texture building towards the back, where the tannins interact playfully with the acidity. This creates a linear and straight palate shape. More powerful fruit, such as plum and cassis carry a considerable weight.
