The weather was fairly good this year although harvest came a bit late, beginning around October 10. The climate was also excellent while the grapes were drying out, cold and dry. Here the color is an intense and bright garnet which becomes brick-red on the edge. The attack of the aroma is almost Burgundy-like with scents of wild strawberry and currant, also in gelatin form, followed by some evident notes of alcohol and those of canned peaches together with some balsamic accents. The mouthfeel is very balanced with an excellent, refreshing and well-integrated acidity, hints of tannins and an elegant and persistent finish.
