This particular wine is then aged in New Oak Barrels for a period of 12- months before being bottled and preserved for a certain period for proper evolution.
Bottling: When the wine was deemed ready, it was bottled at the château. High Quality Natural Corks was used in the 44mm format on 750ml bottles.

General Information:
Tasting Notes: Rich, deep ruby remaining purple at rim. Intense, penetrating and very spicy bouquet, unashamedly expressive. Dense, fleshy and intense on the palate; remarkably youthful but with obvious development and depth. Layers of sumptuous flavors, revealing hints of liquorice, cinnamon and dried fruit. Full bodied yet subtly caressing the palate where it lingers seductively.
