It presents a remarkable aromatic complexity, marked by the peppery notes characteristic of Cabernet Sauvignon, more pronounced in this harvest than in previous years. The bouquet also combines nuances of sweet paprika, ripe fruits and elegant floral touches, surrounded by hints of fine leather and an expressive palette of spices.
In the mouth, it reveals great balance between the ripeness of the fruit, the firm tannic structure and a surprising freshness. It is tasty and muscular, with a broad and enveloping texture. The finish is persistent and full of character, leaving a striking note of liquorice that prolongs the pleasure of the tasting.
A high-class red wine, with aging potential, that combines power and sophistication in equal measure.
