Concentrated dark-cherry and violet aromatics with leather and tobacco depth on the nose; the palate is structured and full-bodied with firm tannins and a long finish from extended barrique ageing.

What food pairs with Lamarein?
Aged beef sirloin, wild boar ragu, truffle risotto and aged Bergkase. The wine's structure demands substantial protein-and-umami.
