Winemaker's Notes:

This vintage requires a longer ageing in oak casks and opens out truly only at the end of few years. In the great vintages its longevity can reach 25-30 years (under the condition however of being stored within 12 C). Very concentrated, round and full, with rich and melted tannin, it is a balanced wine, of dark color. this vintage very often exhales red fruit flavors. it accompanies red meat, game and cheeses.
