Flavor profile

Blueberry and plum meet dried oregano, followed by savory notes, cocoa and vanilla. A silky texture is supported by a dense structure and firm tannins.

Cellaring & drinking window

The importer describes this release as concentrated and suitable for cellaring, without a numeric endpoint. It can be explored now with air, or kept under stable conditions while assessing bottles periodically. Storage history and personal taste affect when to open a bottle. Store unopened in darkness at a stable temperature around 55°F (13°C), away from vibration; keep natural-cork bottles on their side.

Pairing & serving

Serve at 59–63°F with steak or braised short ribs. Taste first, then allow 30–60 minutes of air if needed.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate upright. Enjoy within about 3–4 days for best flavor, allowing each pour to warm slightly before serving.

Ingredient notes
