Color: intense violet-ruby. Nose: lively and expressive, with concentrated notes of red and black fruits (raspberry, plum) and lovely hints of vanilla. Palate: fresh and full-bodied. Very indulgent and elegant, with a fine balance of fruity and well-integrated oak notes. Smooth, long finish. Excellent balance. Pairing: vine-smoked ribeye steak. Comment: very fine tannins with a silky edge that brings freshness to the finish. Can age 5 years.
