One of the wines with the longest lifespan around. It already has an “unnatural”, very lively red color with some purple reflections showing its brazen youth even after almost 20 years.  The first aromas are recognizable ones of sweet tobacco, smoky hints, fine leather and wild berries. The mouthfeel is very taut, with a lively and surprising energy, rich and almost redundant in its austere and upright texture. The finish is very long.
