Partial destemming, traditional vinification with punching of the cap and pumping over to get the best extraction possible. Vatting for 22-29 days. 70% of the wine was aged in oak barrels for fourteen months. – 200 stores. Dark and brooding with baked flavours and warm alcohol on the nose and yet with young fruit. Hot and unpleasant in the mouth. 19/09/08 14.50% |
