Wine aged 12 months in French and American oak casks and at least 1 month in bottle. Intense and shiny cherry-red color of high robe. Intense ripe fruit aroma with vanilla shades, typical from the aging in French oak casks. Tasty (fruity retro-olfaction), long and greedy with an elegant structure.
What the critics say...
Wine Spectator: 84 points(28/02/2009)
Black cherry, smoky and charry notes are a bit austere in this lean red, but the flavors hang together and the firm tannins turn juicy on the finish. Drink now through 2011.
