Mahogany colour with old gold highlights. The nose starts like an amontillado, intense, then evolves on notes of toasted hazelnuts, camomile infusion, cocoa, charcoal, liquorice, dry herbs, white truffle fragrance and finishes like a memory of Fino... The palate is compact, dense and broad. A welcome bitterness perfectly balances the 350g of residual sugar. Wine Advocate/Robert Parker 98/100

Oenology

The grapes are harvested at the end of August. The best bunches are selected and transported in crates to a sandy area where they are laid out in the sun to dry for 10 days (45-50°C during the day and 25-35°C at night). The bunches are then crushed with very powerful presses, and the must is put into vats. The alcoholic fermentation takes place until about 9° of alcohol. The wine is then matured to about 17° and then aged for a long time in large American oak barrels.
