Hyperion Cuvée Roumaine 2013 Dealu Mare

A complex nose with pronounced, intense notes of red and black fruits including plums, cherries, blackberries and blackcurrant with a minty character and nuances of aniseed and liquorice. Oak ageing notes of vanilla, cinnamon, chocolate and toast with hints of bottle ageing notes of tobacco and prunes. Pronounced intense flavours that mirror the nose, backed by well-balanced acidity and mature, polished tannins. Long and lingering finish. Such a big wine deserves to be paired with flavourful dishes, especially those containing red meat and game. Sharp and mature cheeses are a good match such as aged Gouda, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Gruyère and Manchego. This wine should keep for another 10 years.
