Color: bright, ruby reflections. Nose: complex, cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, violet. Upon aeration, spicy and underbrush notes indicate beautiful evolution. Palate: powerful, silky. Direct attack with a beautiful well-integrated tannic structure. Minerality, freshness, and balance. Long finish, with harmony between velvety tannins and acidity. Pairing: beef Wellington. Comment: a true gem to be savored on grand occasions.
