Loads of sweet berry and cherry on the nose with hints of flowers. Amazing nose. Full body, with super silky tannin structure and a long caressing finish. Integrated and refined. It just keeps building on the palate. Bigger and bigger, yet refined and gorgeous. Give this some bottle age to show its true quality.

Aged in a combination of oak casks and barriques. Vibrant red concentration with garnet hues. Aromas of espresso, sour cherry and cocoa are complemented by truffle and spice. The wine is full bodied and very expressive with flavors of vanilla and oak, leading to a wonderful finish. This wine needs another 5 years in bottle and will be enjoyable for 2 decades or more.
