After a modern style, quite dynamic, aromatically moderate with sufficiently expressed fruitiness, warm, of strong spine and sufficient flesh around it, quite lasting.

Very vibrant on the palate, with good acidity, pleasurably bitterish, mildly piquant, rounded, warm, of solid body, lasting.
Consume now, with no haste. Serve at 13 to 14 degrees Centigrade, along with cheese sauce pastas, fish broth, roasted whitefish, roasted veal, lamb or hogget...
