Colour: It has an intense ruby red colour. 
Nose: Its aroma is heady and well-orchestrated, with herbaceous and forest floor notes.
Palate: Its taste is dry, elegant, and rather full-bodied and balanced.

It is paired with central European dishes. It is particularly pleasing when paired with loin of smoked pork and mostarda (sweet fruit pickle) of apples, kren and stewed vegetables.
