A wine that truly transcends the reputation of the vintage. Typically it is deep in colour with fragrant blackberry, chinotto, mocha aromas with meaty roasted chestnut notes. The palate is well-concentrated and balanced with blackberry, cola, sweet fruit flavours, lovely vanilla roasted chestnut nuances and classical fine-grained structure. It finishes muscular firm and long. A very stylish claret style!
