Tasting Notes
Pronounced ruby-red color with violet highlights.
Remarkable aromatic intensity, with fragrances of green peppers and wild berries.
The palate is full and warm, slightly herbaceous when young, and becomes more rounded with age; it has exceptionally long aromatic persistence.
A wine of quite extraordinary character and longevity.
