Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Wine description & food pairing: 

A wine with a deep, ruby red color and dense texture.

Its accentuated and refined bouquet intertwines perceptions of fruit with its ageing in large oak barrels. We perceive hints of blackcurrant, blueberry, blackberry, and mulberry, that connect with violets, licorice, fern, and humus. Over time, the aromas of chocolate and coffee open. 

The taste is intense, fine. We perceive softness, with well-integrated alcohol, at the same time making a refreshing and tannic effect. The tannins are youthful, they dry our palate and play with freshness in an intense and long-lasting, elegant taste. A full-bodied wine with an elegant taste that confirms the flavors of black berries, pepper, and smoke.

It will be the right accompaniment to a Florentine steak, or a dish where venison reigns supreme, accompanied by some chocolate or other sweet sauce.
