The vinification process involves very long macerations to maximize extraction of the grapes' nutrients. Aged in French oak barriques for at least 18 months, it will then age for an additional 6 months in the bottle. Very intense aromas of red fruits such as black cherry, plums, and berries, spicy, leathery notes with hints of vanilla and chocolate. Deep red color with purple reflections.
