Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon 89%; Merlot 3%; Petit Verdot 4% and other varieties 4%
The wine is medium ruby in colour. Elegant, harmonious, quite intense nose with great Cabernet Sauvignon typicity and aromas of blackcurrant, dried blueberry, pine, toast, milk chocolate and a touch of tobacco; developing. Immediately striking on the palate with pronounced fruit concentration, followed by ample yet velvety tannins, medium juicy acidity, high yet well-balanced alcohol and a full body culminating in a lingering finish. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (10+ years).
