Visual

Deep ruby.

Palate

In the mouth, its superb ripeness immediately impresses, as do the silky, high-gloss tannins, dense-packed yet supple. It displays significant ageing potential, but is perfectly enjoyable today.

Nose

A remarkably emphatic nose is laden with well-ripened wild red berryfruit, spice, and peppery balsam.

Winemaking

Each varietal and single vineyard block was vinified separately in stainless steel. The malolactic fermentation, which began in the steel tanks, was completed after the wine was racked into barriques (25% new and 75% a year old). The wine remained in barriques for about 15 months. After the first 12 months the wine was assembled, and then returned to the barriques for an additional 3 months of ageing. After bottling, the wine aged a further 6 months prior to release.
