An herbal pot-pourri of oregano, thyme and bay leaf announces the nose leads to toasted almond and buttered toast, laced with red fruits on the palate. The wine shows a muscular structure and is composed of balanced acidity and lively, layered tannins. It ends robust and earthy which indicates that it has great longevity.

This wine is meant for a choice steak as accompaniment.
