Flavor profile
This outstanding expression of Areni Noir grapes combines elegance and eloquence. Subtle, yet powerful tannins, expressed acidity and long finish create an exceptional balance and complexity. Elegant fruity bouquet with the typical scents of ripe black fruits are accompanied by the oaky notes of chocolate, caramel and vanilla
Serving
Pairs well with red meats, spicy dishes and hard cheeses
Aging
Could be immediately consumed but will reveal its potential in 3 years. It can be kept for 10 years in a good cellar. Should be opened and left to breath or decanted an hour at least before being served
