Above all, this new plot selection is a wine of restrained structure and power, which maturing in smaller containers manages to "relax". Its intense and luminous ruby colour stands out, a prelude to aromas of spices, citrus fruit, plum and brown tobacco. On the palate it is striking for its sapidity and tannic character, its complex aftertaste and its great freshness. With aeration and warming, it evolves on very delicate floral aromas. A great long-distance runner is born and if you can't wait for it, decant it for an hour or two!
