Ageing for 20 months in barrels, with 20% new oak.
Ruby with hints of purple, not showing real signs of ageing.
Serve at 17-18°C with Axoa of veal, fillet of duck breast and boletus mushrooms or with grilled on vine shoots prime rib of beef. Perfect with cherry clafoutis or with sheep cheese and black cherry jam.
