Owner's words
Intense, brilliant ruby color, the aromatic palette is concentrated on black fruits and spices, the palate is generous, with a beautiful structure that preserves the delicacy of the tannins and their elegance; long, persistent finish. The fruit is fully ripe, yet the aromatic freshness is preserved. There's no doubt that this vintage will stand the test of time.
