Aroma: The wine offers a bold and enticing aroma of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries, plums, and black cherries. Notes of black pepper, clove, and dried herbs add complexity, while subtle hints of vanilla and cedar from oak aging contribute to its aromatic profile.

There are also layers of spice, including black pepper and clove, adding depth and complexity. Firm tannins provide structure and grip, balancing the wine’s fruitiness, while well-integrated oak lends hints of vanilla and toastiness.
Finish: The finish is long and lingering, with the wine’s ripe fruit flavors persisting alongside a subtle spiciness and a touch of smokiness from the oak.

Glassware: Use a large-bowled red wine glass to enhance the wine’s aromatics and allow for proper aeration.
Decanting: Consider decanting the wine for at least 30 minutes before serving to soften its tannins and fully open up its flavors.
Pairing: Ombu Classic Tannat pairs well with hearty and flavorful dishes, such as grilled meats, barbecued ribs, game meats, or rich stews. It also complements aged cheeses and dark chocolate desserts.
