Color: amber with copper highlights. Nose: rancio, burnt sugar, candied orange zest, dried fig and prune. Toasted walnut, cocoa, coffee and leather. Palate: rich, generous attack with ample texture, beautifully balanced by the freshness of candied orange zest. Concentrated, revealing flavours of prune, candied orange, very ripe fig, raisin, toasted walnut and burnt sugar. Saline notes mingle with hints of tobacco and leather. Exceptionally long finish. Food pairing: beef carpaccio. Comment: remarkable maturity and a true benchmark for its appellation.
