A regular year with a medium-low yield and excellent conditions for raisinating the grapes. This is the best vintage so far and has won prizes and praise to become a real cult wine. The color is a bright garnet and the edge is only slightly brick-red. The bouquet is very complex with bottle-aged scents of tar, smoked wood and dried mushrooms together with those of spice and raspberries preserved in alcohol. The mouthfeel is full, rich and defined, with velvety and intact tannins, an excellent acidity and an elegant body. The finish is very long and subtle.
