"Incredibilmente profondo ed accattivante mostra densità e struttura antocianinica rivelando in modo spavaldo note di prugne nere, susine, more selvatiche, mirto selvatico, bacche di ginepro e violetta selvatica. Tanto succo di pompelmo domina la scena secondaria. Corpo pieno, struttura scorrevole di splendida grazia floreale ed un finale succoso e di ottima beva. Bevi ora o invecchia."
