Goru Tinto Magnum: Tasting Notes

The Goru Tinto Magnum is a luscious and complex wine, waiting to be unravelled. Here's a detailed breakdown of its sensory profile:

• Colour: Deep ruby red with alluring purple hues.
• Nose: On the nose, an intense bouquet of ripe dark fruits unfolds, encompassing blackberries, plums, and cherries. These aromas are intertwined with delightful toasty and spicy wood notes, hinting at vanilla and cinnamon.
• Palate: The first sip reveals a full-bodied wine with a luscious texture. The dark fruit flavours from the nose are complemented by hints of chocolate and liquorice. The tannins are well-balanced, offering a pleasant structure without being overpowering. A refreshing touch of acidity cuts through the richness, keeping the wine lively on the palate. The oak ageing adds subtle hints of vanilla and spice, further elevating the complexity.

Food Pairings for Goru Tinto Magnum

The Goru Tinto Magnum's full body and bold fruit flavours make it a fantastic companion for a variety of dishes. Here are some suggested food pairings to bring out the best in both the wine and the food:

• BBQ Meats: The smoky and savoury notes of grilled meats like sausages, burgers, and ribs pair exceptionally well with the Goru Tinto Magnum. The wine's richness can stand up to the boldness of BBQ flavours, while the acidity cuts through the fattiness of the meat.
• Roasted Vegetables: Roasted vegetables like peppers, aubergines, and mushrooms can create a delightful vegetarian pairing. The smoky and earthy notes of roasted vegetables complement the wine's toasty character, while the sweetness of the vegetables balances the wine's tannins.
• Hard Cheeses: Aged cheddar, Manchego, or Gouda cheeses provide a delicious contrast to the Goru Tinto Magnum's fruitiness. The richness of the cheese can hold its own against the wine's full body, while the salty notes enhance the wine's fruit flavours.
• Hearty Stews and Casseroles: Rich stews and casseroles made with red meat, such as beef bourguignon or lamb stew, find a perfect partner in the Goru Tinto Magnum. The wine's tannins can handle the richness of the dish, while the fruit flavours complement the savoury elements.

Serving Recommendations

For an optimal drinking experience, serve the Goru Tinto Magnum at a slightly cool temperature, ideally between 16-18°C. Decanting the wine for 30 minutes before serving can help soften the tannins and further enhance its aromas and flavours.
