Notes: Guide Hachette 1*Star, IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
"Long maceration and extended aging in barrels and vats contribute to the bouquet of jammy fruits and vanilla. On the palate, red fruits emerge, with a roasted aspect, followed by notes of prune and finally caramel; all supported by well-present tannins that are beginning to round out." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)
