In its youth this is a densely structured wine with pronounced tannins which repays careful cellaring in order for the wine to develop and soften yielding typical blackcurrant and wild red fruit flavours with a typical cigar-box nose. The wood, from old barrels, is very well-integrated and contributes to what is a very harmonious wine. Drinking well now and will continue to do so for another 5 years or so.
Family-owned since 1898 this wine provides a really good price/quality ratio for this appeallation.
