With 8 years of age this wine is vibrant and fresh with lots of primary fruit (cassis, black cherry, blackberry, violet, black plum, blueberry), very well integrated oak and just emerging tertiary notes of forest floor, leather, dried blackberry and fried red flowers. What’s particularly striking is the balance of fruit and velvet tannin with high acidity, giving the wine a laser-like ability to shine on the palate. Very long finish and gorgeous with food.
