This wine reveals a deep ruby-red hue and intense notes of oak, spice, and red fruits on the nose. The palate offers the same aromas and the nose with a harmonious combination of fruity and oaky notes. With its smooth tannins and long, lingering finish, this well-balanced wine is the epitome of elegance.

"Very concentrated and tightly structured but wonderfully elegant, thanks to the fineness of the tannins. Aromas of smoke, licorice and wet earth as well as a wealth of forest-berry fruit. In spite of all this, it feels lively on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Extremely long, compact finish. From organically grown grapes. Matured in a half-and-half mix of new oak barriques and once-used casks."

"Rich and voluminous, this red reveals cherry, blackberry, iron, grilled steak and smoky oak flavors. There’s heft and density, and the aftertaste is long, with echoes of new oak. A muscular version that stays between the lines. Expressive."
