Description
An intense deep ruby in color, the 2016 Holden Manz Elysium opens with a powerful nose of black cherry, dark chocolate, and savory nuttiness, layered with inviting aromas of ripe strawberry, blueberry, and a subtle hint of forest floor. The complexity deepens with faint notes of white truffle, adding intrigue to the bouquet. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is bold and refined, with supple tannins and a broad flavor profile. Rich mocha, anise, and nutmeg play off one another, creating a harmonious balance. The wine’s fine tannins and wonderful acidity lead to a long, lingering finish, showcasing its multi-layered complexity. A wine of great depth, perfect for pairing with succulent slow-roasted pork belly or braised game birds.
