Description
The 2018 Holden Manz Elysium is a wine of extraordinary depth and complexity, matured for 24 months in new French oak barrels. It presents an intense deep ruby color and a rich, aromatic nose with bold notes of black cherry, dark chocolate, and savory nuttiness. Layers of ripe strawberry, blueberry, and a hint of forest floor, with a whisper of white truffle, create an inviting bouquet. The palate is full-bodied and intense, with refined, supple tannins and a long, lingering finish. Mocha, anise, and nutmeg combine in a broad flavor profile, supported by fine acidity that balances the wine’s complexity.
Food Pairing: Perfect with succulent slow-roasted pork belly, braised game birds, venison, or hearty vegetable dishes.
