On opening the wine shows a garnet colour with orange highlights, consistent with extended evolution. On the nose tertiary, composed impressions prevail, such as reduced ripe fruit, leather, tobacco and undergrowth, while on the palate the tannic texture is now smoothed but still supported by a central structure that maintains balance. The persistence is measured and the sip requires attention to capture its nuances. It is advisable to serve at moderate temperature and pair with flavourful meat dishes, game or aged cheeses; to appreciate it fully, consider decanting depending on storage conditions.
