Good looking normal size bottle, is in a perfect condition and has by the neck level. Colour is ruby red, and looking healthy, dark and deep. On the nose it is intense, youthful, refined, fresh and generous. The taste is fresh, fragrant, firm, refined, with silky tannins, full-bodied, with perfectly balanced, complex, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has blackberry, dried-fruit, earthy, herbs, leather, perfumed, mineral, vanilla and truffles flavours. The finish is long, extensive, flavorful and vibrant. This wine is transparent and impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
