The balanced production of this old vineyards, together with a limited yield and careful ageing, result in the authentic spirit of this wine. This is wine of intense colour, complex in the nose, fully structured with a long after taste.
What the critics say...
Robert Parker: 95 points(01/02/2007)
It is just slightly more muted but lovely nonetheless. Already complex both aromatically and on the palate, it has superb materials while appearing to be more structured than the 2004.
