TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby red in colour. The bouquet opens with varietal aromas of ripe black fruit, particularly plum, enhanced by elegant balsamic nuances. Long oak ageing contributes notes of vanilla and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is rich and structured, with fine and well-integrated tannins, supported by a vibrant freshness that leads to a long and persistent finish.
