Notes of juicy, ripe blackberry, deep cherry, exotic clove and nutmeg leap from the glass, leading to a deep yet fresh palate. Purple plum, cassis and black tea blend with whiffs of light toast and a dusting of refined tannins. Boysenberry, baking spice, currants, and sinfully rich Dutch cocoa enhance a clean finish that begs for another sip.
The 2017 OPR pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes that enhance its bold character. Enjoy it alongside grilled filet mignon, slow-braised short ribs, or herb-crusted lamb chops. Its deep fruit and velvety tannins also complement mature cheeses like aged gouda, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or blue cheese. For a perfect pairing, serve it with hearty Italian dishes, such as truffle-infused pasta, beef ragu, or mushroom risotto. Whether enjoyed at a fine dinner or a cozy evening by the fire, this reserve wine delivers a truly memorable and luxurious tasting experience.
