It is a serious wine with really high complexity and high potential of ageing.
It is a full bodied wine. There is notes of leathers and smokes. The fruits are ripe and warm with predominance of plum, black cherry and a hint of dried figues. Tannins are firms but very well balanced with the high fruits intensity of the wine.
The finish is long with a good acidity which make the wine vibrant .
