Tasting Note
Opulent, mature Pauillac: cassis, black cherry, espresso, cedar, leather and dried fig with sweet spice. Silky, softened tannins, bright persistent acidity and an exotic, very long finish.
Food Pairing
Western: roast lamb, beef rib, venison, mushroom risotto. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, soy-braised beef, Korean BBQ (galbi), rich Cantonese braises.
Production Method
Traditional Bordeaux vinification: fermented in vats, blended and aged in French oak barrels, then long bottle aging; often recorked for preservation on older bottles.
