Ruby red color with rich and intense tones. Variety of aromatic herbs accentuated with generous notes of tobacco and wet earth (dry earth, as well), black currant and licorice. The palate manifests good consistency of medium-smooth tannins to ensure the lengthy ageing. Rich structure and weight and elegant breed on the finish. Optimum cellar life in all vintages.
96 Points - Falstaff, February 2023. "Bright ruby red, lighter at the rim. On the nose, hearty and inviting, with rich cherry, wild berries, plus a touch of dark chocolate and earthy tones in the background. On the palate, textured and clear, spreads juicily and with balanced tannins over the palate, shows elegant drive, and returns to juicy on the long finish."
96 Points - WinesCritic.com, "Potent in the sensory profile alternating notes of black prunes, blackberries, wild myrtle and withered red flowers. Full bodied, soft, enveloping and creamy in the sip with a graceful, tasty closure showing a polyphenolic quality of a select few. Drink now or hold."
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast, September 2023. "Freshly turned soil, spent coffee grounds and pencil shavings are on the nose with just a hint of dried cherry opening onto a palate bursting with fresh cherries and orange peel, structured by tannins that are welcoming but nonetheless hold their integrity."
