"Intense black-cherry color with good depth of color and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask-ageing, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone and lovely, polished tannins. The long, persistent finish leaves gentle balsamic reminders of the finest quality." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-An example of excellent winemaking! Perfectly balanced with flavors of black currant, fig, sage and mocha. Silky in it's presentation and comes with a long, lingering finish. Will benefit from a few more years bottle aging but drinking really well right now. Enjoy!
"The wine is garnet in color with pink hints at the rim. High aromatic intensity, where aromas of berries and licorice are recognized and joined with those from its aging in barrels such as spices, vanilla and anise notes. The palate is smooth due to well-integrated tannin that gives elegance and length for a fruity and balsamic aftertaste." —winemaker
"Bright cherry-red color and a rim with roof tile tones. High aromatic intensity, clean and sound. Complex on the nose with coffee, vanilla, roast and balsamic nuances integrated into an intense bottom note of ripe fruit. Elegant and round. It is well balanced with a velvety attack followed by a pleasant acidity and a silky and full-bodied aftertaste resulting from its noble and ripe tannin. Its long aftertaste has spicy and balsamic hints, resulting from its long and peaceful ageing, as well as confit fruit nuances that uncover its personality." —winemaker
