Made from Cabernet Franc and matured for 14 months in new barriques. An opaque ruby color and an aroma of sweet chili pepper, oregano and graphite on a solid background of blackberry. The mouthfeel is rich yet streamlined, with an acidity typical of Cabernet Franc but not at all crude and with tannins that are even sweet. A slight grassy note is only noticeable in the finish, while the aftertaste is fruity and slightly spicy hot. This is a mix of New World wine, more centered in fruit than herbs, and an Old World one, due to its dynamism. Truly excellent.
