In the mouth, the attack is deep and intense. Firm but discreet tannins make for a body that is supple, fine textured and well-built. It boasts back aromas (often of bilberry) and a long finish.Its supple and intense attack, and its aromatic register with its distinguished finish, mean it should be matched with slow-cooked dishes like braised veal or beef, to which its tannins will lend structure without being aggressive. Glazed or caramelized poultry in the Asian style would also give it a warm welcome for its meaty texture, as would home-made hamburgers.
