Description: Intense, ruby red colour. With longer maturing, it takes on brick-red hues. The bouquet shows balsamic notes of black cherries and prune, all elegantly enriched with a soft spiciness. Complex aromas are well balanced with pleasant acidity and ripe tannins. A structured and elegant wine with a full body, a reflection of the variety and terroir. A mature, mineral wine. Long and noble aftertaste.
Great potential for bottle maturing.
