Firm and solid tannins with a dry core offers a dark character and density. Along with this, the wine has a ripe, fruity character that’s packed with acidity and layered with wood.

89–91. Barrel sample. Juicy blackberry and red-berry fruits are partnered with firm tannins and a fine, elegant structure. The finish is marked by a fruit cake and spice note.
