Color: deep in colour. Nose: intensely aromatic, with Morello cherry, wild blackberry and cassis, complemented by peony and violet, enhanced by touches of liquorice, fine spices and noble oak. Palate: broad and precise, with silky, perfectly integrated tannins delivering a velvety texture and remarkable depth. The finish is long, saline and delicately smoky. Comment: the freshness of the vintage brings tension, balance and great nobility.
