4,1/5 - Vivino (208 ratings)

93/100 - Wine Enthusiast Tasted: Mar 2023

This is a serious, rich wine, full of powerful fruits. Tannins and structure, especially from the Baga in the blend are balanced by the wine's polished edge from wood aging. This fine wine, dense and worth aging further, will be ready from 2025.
