Wine Ageing: After the wine spends the winter in concrete tanks, at the end of June, it’s then left to age for two years in big French oak barrels. The ageing process then continues for another year in bottle.

Tasting Notes: Lavishly perfumed, it is characterised by fresh red fruits, strawberry and cherry, as well as dried figs, hints of aniseed and quinine, and hints of medicinal and aromatic herbs. Full-bodied and robust on the palate, it is characterised by fine tannins and a savoury finish.
