Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 92 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe black cherries, violets, and delicate Asian spice, layered with subtle notes of forest floor and sandalwood. On the palate, it is silky and nuanced, with fine-grained tannins supporting flavors of red berries, plum, and a gentle hint of licorice, leading to an elegant, persistent finish. Its refined structure and lively energy make it a superb companion for dishes such as duck breast with cherry sauce, roast rack of lamb, or classic French coq au vin. For an Asian-inspired pairing, consider Peking duck, where the wine’s texture and spice complement the dish’s richness without overwhelming it.
