On the palate it is very vigorous, rich in extracts, with lively and pleasant tannins that are rounded through a skilful use of wood. A powerful, tantalizing wine with a great ageing potential.

This wine is generous and rounded at first with juicy, deep berry compote fruits then yielding to a tightly woven frame of firm yet generous tannins. There are alluring, coconutty oak and fine dark chocolate characters, with a deep, soft centre of ripe berry fruits. Elegant acids and light, long tannins carry the palate to deliver a lingering finish.

Ruby red in colour with hints of bring orange at the rim, this wine has an intense aroma of cherry, raspberry, rose, tobacco and truffle. The palate is full bodied and robust with concentrated flavours of dark berries, spice and licorice. The wine is best enoyed with some decanting to allow its flavours to evolve and pair wonderfuly with hearty Italian dishes such as rissotto or aged cheeses
