A fabulous year with a nice maturity, lots of concentration; this is a full bodied wine with velvet tannin.

    A faboulous year, great maturity, beautiful concentration. A wine which must be absolutly in your cellar.

    Its sweetness and fruitiness makes the wine ready to be drunk today, on the fruit. But it can be laid down in a cellar for 5 years too.
