Tasting notes
Good intensity with deep red colour and purple tinges. Enticing nose of cassis and spices.
Expressive bouquet. The palate reveals a well-structured and balanced wine with clear-cut
flavours, dense middle palate and ripe, silky tannins. Great vintage for cellaring.
Vinification
Following hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and
carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled
stainless-steel or concrete tanks. After blending, the wine is aged from 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% to 40% of which are new.
Climatic conditions
2009 gathered all the conditions that outstanding vintages require! Rainfall was noticeably deficient, exceptionally high sunshine hours until the month of March, a very sunny Summer until September, allowing for the perfect ripening of the grapes and great concentration of aromas.
