Tasting Note:
The nose, long and balanced, has a beautiful personality. It combines fruity aromas with finely woody notes and pleasant freshness. The palate, fruity and well balanced, has a fleshy attack with grain, which gives shine to the wine. Everything ends on beautiful melted and persistent tannins.

James Suckling 92 Points
"Medium-bodied red with aromas and flavors of plum, coffee and dark chocolate. Firm, polished tannins and a lovely finish."
