The wine matured for 14 months in oak barrels, 30% new.
Tasting Notes Intense red; deep and complex nose with heather, boxwood, fresh cherry, orange peel, spices, coffee, peaty soil and cigar; full, expansive and powerful palate with richness, an impression of sweetness, mocha, dark chocolate and sweet spice; exceptional length and notable ageing potential.
