Maturing: 6 to 10 months with 30% in French oak barrels 1 to 4 years old.

Intense deep red robe with brilliant glints of purple. Complex nose with flower (peony, iris) and ripe red fruit (Burlat cherry, black cherry) and spice. Supple and balanced on the palate, tannins are present and fine, bringing power and delicacy.
