Tasting Notes

91 points by Steve Tanzer (International Wine Cellar - USA)
Matured in 300 liter French and American (10%) oak barrels for 15 months. A very attractive spicy nose with aromas of coffee and mocha accompanied by a full-bodied and well-balanced palate. Delicate dark berry fruit slides over the palate with finesse and opulence.

Ageing Potential

Mature for 10 to 12 years.
