The nose is also mature and intermixes jammy fruits with a vegetal touch, notes of undergrowth, spice and venison. Good grip on the palate which is powerful, warm and full-bodied yet tense. Wild yet strict. A beautiful wine.”r87 Points – Wine Enthusiast, January 2015. “This opens with earthy aromas of leather, overripe black fruit, meat juice and a whiff of barnyard. The palate delivers mature plum, black cherry, loam and game alongside astringent tannins.”r16.5/20 Points – Vinum Wine Magazine, November 2017. “Smells of raspberries and macchia; juicy in the mouth, compact structure, plenty of character and fullness of tannins, finishes long and harmonious. For a steak.”r
