Firm but increasingly refined, silky texture emerging

Moderate (~13-13.5%) well integrated

2025 to 2035

Optimal window

2018 to 2040

Current status

Approaching mature drinking window, still evolving

Current condition

Developing tertiary complexity with softened tannins, good freshness preserved, still lively acidity

Peak period reflects the balance between fruit freshness and development of tertiary aromas; tannins soften to silky texture, acidity remains vibrant to provide lift and aging vitality. After peak, fruit fades and tertiary notes dominate, with gradual loss of vibrancy.

Food pairing

Classic pairings include roasted duck, coq au vin, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, and mild game (e.g., quail). As it matures, pairs well with earthy dishes and aged cheeses.

Serving

Serving temperature

15-17°C / 59-63°F
