Almost opaque in colour, the bouquet is rich in black fruits with overtones of cedar wood. The palate is finely integrated, despite very firm tannins, and shows a quite astonishing complexity.
Delicious with beef ribs with mushrooms, bacon and potatoes.
Modern vinification techniques including temperature-controlled fermentation and pumping-over have been applied. The wine is aged in barrels for 16-20 months before bottling.
