This distinguished red blend is designed for long aging, with a potential exceeding 20 years. It immediately reveals terroir-driven notes of cedar, spice, fresh fruit, and toasted cereal from its high-altitude (750m) origins. The perfectly ripened 2021 vintage contributes to its elegant, polished character, which unfolds with extraordinary breadth, depth, and layered complexity on the palate.  
Tasting Notes:
 Identifying aromas of cedar, spice, fresh fruit, and toasted cereal, indicative of its granitic and schist terroir.  Elegant and polished, yet displaying remarkable breadth and depth. It shows multiple layers of complexity and flavours, with a structure built for significant aging.  
 
Food Match
 Superb with aged red meats like herb-roasted lamb or grilled beef with a seasoning crust. Also pairs well with game dishes, exotic meats, refined pastas, and risottos. Complements aged hard cheeses such as Parmesan or aged Manchego, and can even accompany specific desserts like dried fruit and spice pie or bitter chocolate with low sweetness.
