Flavor profile

Forest berries, plum and apricot-like fruit mingle with blueberry-jam notes and a lingering finish.

Cellaring & drinking window

The vintage is not identified, so its oak maturation and full body do not establish a reliable drinking deadline. Confirm the vintage and storage history before deciding on further cellaring; enjoy a well-stored bottle now after assessing its condition. 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 60–64°F (16–18°C) with roast lamb, beef stew or aged cheese. Taste first, then decant briefly if it needs air.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate after opening. Aim to enjoy within 2–3 days for fresh flavor; allow a chilled glass to warm slightly before serving.
