Notes: Guide Hachette 1*Star, IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
“Extended maceration and prolonged aging in barrels and tanks contribute to the bouquet of jammy fruit and vanilla. On the palate, red fruits emerge, with a roasted quality, followed by notes of prune and finally caramel; all supported by pronounced tannins that are beginning to round out.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)
