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!

Rated wine (2017 guide) 91/100

About the wine:

Tasted on barrel. Juicy, with attractive acidity and firm tannins. The fruit is supple, contrasting with the dark tannins. The wine will need time.
