Tasting Notes
Very concentrated aromas, with balsamic notes of oak, ripe red fruits and violets. The palate is extremely balanced, with a lot of red fruit concentration, containing ripe and round tannins and a long and fresh finish.
Winemaking
The grapes were vinified in 5-10 ton stainless steel vats with controlled temperatures and scheduled remontage. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels where it remained for 16 months.

Accolades
Wine Enthusiast
July 2024
Aged for 16 months in wood, the wine is rich with perfumed aromas and a polished texture. It is elegant, its black-fruit flavors balanced with tannins. The wine is rich and still firm. Drink from 2026.
Wine Spectator
December 2024
A toasty red, with smoke and espresso notes underscoring flavors of baked black cherry and black currant, plus mocha, macchia, mineral and black licorice accents. Powerful tannins are enmeshed in the plush texture, and the expressive profile lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2031.
