Ratings/Awards: Slow Wine Guide Recognition

Description: Dry full boded red. The nose is intense and complex, with notes of black cherry, bramble, maquis, chocolate, licorice and spices. The mouthfeel is structured, firm (soft tannins are typical of old vines) and crisp. Crispness of this wine enhances its length and depth. This is a big tightly wound red that benefits from a bit of airing; pair with dishes of meat and game and strong cheeses.
