Tasting notes:

A perfect year in the vineyards produced this stunning wine. It has an almost black colour and opens a dark, complex bouquet of wild berries, tobacco and cedarwood. Dense and tight in structure, still with mouthcoating tannins, lots of lush, sweet fruit extract, balanced by a fresh acidity, and comes with an almost endless finish. It is a big and opulent wine, made for ageing and improving in the bottle for at least 10 years.
