Aroma: cassis, dark cherry, violet, cedar

Palate: concentrated black fruit, graphite, espresso, ultra-fine tannins

Garcia Figuero's prestige single-vineyard selection: concentrated cassis, violet and graphite from the estate's best old-vine parcel at La Horra, aged 20 months in new French oak and released only in exceptional vintages.

What it pairs with

  • Prime Castilian beef entrecote
    Dense graphite tannins and concentrated fruit call for the fat and depth of prime beef.
  • Venison haunch with red berry sauce
    Violet and cassis in the wine mirror the gamey meat and fruity sauce.
  • Aged Manchego DOP viejo with walnut
    Ultra-fine tannins pair with the nutty, crystalline texture of old Manchego.
