In the glass, you're carried away by a round, intense palate of dark berry fruit and peppery notes. Firm tannins contribute to the wine's overall harmony, followed by a persistent, fresh finish. It's all there!

About the wine:
Tasted on barrel. Juicy, with attractive acidity and firm tannins. Supple fruit contrasts with dark tannins. The wine will need time.
