The perfect maturity of the is reflected in the mouth, dense and elegant, on a concentrated fruit of cherry and wild strawberry that nothing disturbs. The finish, ripe and generous, is punctuated by a finely saline structure which, if it allows cellaring for a few years, should not however prevent you from uncorking the bottle this summer to enjoy its exuberant youth.
A good partner for barbecues.
