Tasting Note: A Fallon & Byrne exclusive, this is the second edition of Marqués de Tomares Cohiba partnership and the first to be sold in Ireland. The collaboration comes from a wish to celebrate the affinities in these two rarefied worlds. Both the wine and the cigar start with the highest quality raw ingredients and involve a double fermentation, expert care in production and a deep respect for the time it takes for each one to reach their full potential.

Deep purple colour with brick highlights. It presents notes of vanilla, chocolate, black fruits and tobacco – long and fresh. A wine that has been “tamed” by its maturation and passing through barrel. A great Father’s Day gift.

Pairing suggestions: BBQ, charcuterie platter, game, pork with plums, red meats.
