Deep nose, but also precise and nuanced, with high-grade cigar box, fresh red berries, currants, charcoal, grilled meat and olives. Fine cocoa bean and mint, too. Ultra-fine and polished with a very precise, rather linear palate for cabernet. Precise, restrained, classy and long with a hint of creme de cassis in the end. 100% cabernet sauvignon.

Dark ruby with purple reflections and good depth, subtly lighter at the rim. Subtle smoky notes and a subtle hint of plum framed by coffee aromas. Dense on the palate, with juicy, almost lush fruit and tannins that are powerful, soft, fine and ripe as well as surrounded by freshness. Structure, fruit and freshness harmonize to create a promising, balanced and elegant food companion with potential for years of ageing.
