Deep Ruby with aromas of red berry fruits and perfumed pepper spice. On the palate flavors of black fruits, cacao, tobacco and spicy herbal notes. Lively acidity, fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, cacao and spicy oak.

The mid palette showed best with typical Bordeaux merlot characteristics. Finish was a bit flat. At 7 years tannins were resolved. This is good to go.

Darker, denser, shorter and simpler than the 2014, its Italian nose is highly attractive but the the palate is fatiguing.
