Carmine in colour with purple highlights, it offers an expressive and racy nose of graphite, red fruits and spices, completed by a floral touch characteristic of the great reds from limestone soils. It enters the mouth with a magnificent vivacity, revealing a tonic and fine structure, which unfolds at once pulpy, sapid and saline. It has never been so good and the (great) vintage is undoubtedly a factor. Don't miss it!
