Delicacy, density, and an innate sense of balance are typical of this great wine. Its colour is intense, the nose is very expressive with violet and red fruits aromas like cherry or morello cherry, which express a great complexity. The mouth is fleshy and concentrated, and the tanins are fine, velvety, and elegant.
