Tasting and serving
Tasting notes: Vivid, dense ruby-red color with light violet shades. The intense, gorgeous multi-layered bouquet reveals intriguing fruity aromas of blueberries and ripe plums, enhanced by a jammy tone of black cherry jam and pronounced spicy notes of black pepper and aromatic spices. Gentle natural chocolate and a hint of smoked meat and vanilla complete the nose and spill over into the palate. Multi-vintage is a powerful, yet elegant and fresh wine, with a full body and soft tannins. Balanced and juicy in the mouth, with a fruity finish and a long spicy aftertaste.
Serving suggestions: Great match for tender red meats, mature cheeses, spicy and fried foods. Pair with pepper steak with a garnish of vegetable tempura, grilled steak with fruit dressing, duck dishes, strong cheese with fruit or vegetable jam, charcuterie or sweet-salty Asian cuisine. Serve at 16-18°C, in Syrah Old World glass (mid-size stem, egg-shaped bowl, narrow rim) or regular Red wine glass.
Storage: Cool and dark place, at temperature 12-15°С.
