Ruby with garnet hues. Tertiary aromas are predominant on the nose, espcially earth and mushrooms. Nice mouth, with notes of shaved pencil and bitter chocolate. A cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon and Gaglioppo from Calabria, in southern Italy. (2003-2010)

40% cabernet sauvignon; 60% gaglioppo, harvested in early October. Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel before 12 months ageing in Alliers oak barrels and six months in bottle. Richly perfumed nose. Dense palate. Very solid black fruit flavours with fairly gentle tannins on the finish. Very Good Indeed.
