After an ageing, its tanins is softened and it develops flavours of a large smoothness, where the odors are interfered toast and with spices and thus is involved in wonder with the regional dishes! This wine accompanies very quite various products by Bigorre and Gers: crystallized, farm lamb, boletus, beans tarbais or cheeses. And it is often of an excellent quality-price ratio, such as for example the Castle of Viella Tradition to 5¬! | |
