Production Details Aged for 30 months: 70% in new barriques and 30% in 20-hectoliter casks. The importer's technical section describes the oak as French, while a Wine Enthusiast review reproduced on the same page calls it French and Slavonian; the oak-origin discrepancy remains unresolved.
Tasting Notes Fresh fruit, pronounced aromatics, substantial structure and complexity, intense color, balanced acidity and gentle tannins
