Shiny and luminous dark burgundy color. Fresh nose, with intense fruitiness, finely smoked and roasted. Supple attack on the palate, good volume, spherical tannins, persistent finish. A complete wine, of good constitution, greedy, ample and balanced. Elegance and character, a very nice achievement. Aging 8/10 years.
