There is a hint of truffle on the fresh and high-toned liqueur-like aromas that run more toward the red side of the fruit spectrum. The layered, sweet and concentrated flavors are blessed with ample dry extract underpinned by moderately firm tannins and excellent length. This is a balanced and deeper wine with plenty of minerality that should drink well after only 5 to 7 years if desired.

thick and very intense cherry nose, big ripe tannin greatly cooperating with dense and ripe fruit. Great depth, complexity and length. Very long and persistent cherry finish with some touch of almonds. This is just riveting performance. Long, long life.
