The shades are: red-purple – dark blue and airtight

The wine has a rich bouquet with red and black fruits ,slightly sour , certain minerals ,black plum , red raspberry, new wood , mocha and coffee , firm tannins,

Fascinating wine with its future ahead of it, maybe more harmonious and elegant than the 2005 version in its youth but possesses an outstanding and distinguished personality.

The concentration of fruit combined with the sharp tannins from the wood and alcohol percentage promises a fitting return to the patient collectors.
