A classic year with a hot and regular summer and a mild early autumn with excellent diurnal temperature variations. Submerged cap maceration and matured in cement for one year and then for three years in large barrels. A deep, garnet color and an aroma that is a tad smoky with sensations of damp earth, tamarind and peppermint, blueberry and turned earth. The mouthfeel is rich yet lively with a finish that is salty and earthy, warm and has a note of tobacco. A masterpiece.
