Whereas its richer cousin, the Vintage, is bottled in the second year, this wine is bottled in the fourth year. Smoother than the Vintage, more developed and easier to drink. It is a powerful, defiant, full-bodied and harmonious wine. It is a wine familiar with the flavours of chocolate and cheese. After the bottle is opened it remains at its best for a further 15 to 30 days, if properly stored. It is a wine that is not filtered and can therefore either be drunk immediately or be left forgotten in a cellar, developing further complexity.Almost opaque in color, a very deep red and bluish reflections. Intense, full aroma of ripe fruit which brings out the flavors of grape and fig, combined with a delicious chocolate and hints of anise. The palate is full-bodied, soft and elegant, full of ripe fruit and balanced tannins and a long finish promising a good evolution in the bottle.
