Really shines in this hot vintage. Big, cellaring red from corvina and rare oseleta grapes. Well-integrated blueberry and blackcurrant, with gentle hints of oregano and basil, and light leather aromas. Full bodied, compact and well balanced, with firm, not astringent tannin. Excellent length. Enjoyable now; best 2009 to 2013.
