Vino Tinto Otazu Premium Cuvée

Age: Crianza

Winery: Señorío de Otazu

Tasting note for Red Wine Otazu Premium Cuvée:

Cherry color with purple trim, medium high layer.

Very complex on the nose, with a predominance of aromas of black fruit (plums, blackberries), spices (vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom) and soft toasted on a balsamic background (eucalyptus).

The entry into the mouth is greedy, agile in the step, with polished tannins and lively acidity. Memories of black fruit and cocoa in retronasal. End of long persistence.

Optimum service temperature: 16° C.

A pairing: Burger con roquefort.

Ingredients: 20 gr. of mache salad, 1 tomato, fresh cheese without salt, 15 gr. of chives, 1 onion, 220 gr. from Roquefort, 40 gr. of thick cream, 4 hamburger buns, 4 mini veal burgers (100 gr. each), salt and freshly ground pepper.
