Intense ruby coloured, it has a fragrant and savoury bouquet. Impressions of pomegrate and preserved red fruits, melded with smoky bacon, fallen leaves, cedar and toasted spice. Mouthfilling, rich and complex, it touches all areas of the palate, delivering outstanding depth and structure. Fine grained, polished tannins are interwoven seamlessly with brisk acidity and admirable concentration, giving the wine real focus and power. This is a sophisticaed yet elegant wine, with a long, lively tail.
