This exceptional, opaque purple-coloured wine is seriously powerful, rich and full-bodied. The bouquet has an abundance of ripe berry fruit with fabulous nuances of aniseed and spicy prunes.
The Tzimmukin has a spectacularly textured palate, viscous and smooth with a long lingering savoury finish, perfect with wild game, flavourful meat dishes and mature cheeses.
The Tzimmukin is drinking beautifully now, yet will greatly benefit from careful cellaring. To allow this wine to show its full potential it is suggested to be decanted an hour before serving.
