Tannic, red fruits and a firm structure characterize a wine that offers spice and wood as a backdrop. There is power here, partnered with elegance.

Friendly and fruity, made for everyday consumption, showing spice, red cherries and a flavor of minerality that manifests itself in the acidity. Partial aging in older barrels has softened the pure intensity of the fruit, but without adding wood flavors.

Seems reductive on the nose, with smoky, slightly acrid sulfur notes that still don’t obscure the ripe plums underneath. Tastes better, delivering plum and cherry flavors on a silky- smooth mouthfeel. Decant before serving, or hold another year or two before drinking. Imported by Vin Divino.
