The wine in 2008

The tannins that ripened slowly at the end of the season without it ever being very hot, are especially soft and elegant this year. Right after the alcoholic fermentation the sensation on the palate is delicate and rich like never before.
This vintage, which grew in such difficult weather, has produced a remarkable wine that no-body would have dreamed of, had the harvest taken place at a usual date. The measured power of the tannins that is nicely balanced by a steady level of acidity, ensures that this wine will age harmoniously. Malolactic fermentation is underway and the final taste profile will become apparent soon.
