Deep ruby red. Menthol and dark red fruits on the nose. Firm tannins, medium bright acidity on the palate which echoes the nose. Could cellar for a very long time, — Pato says "more than 15 years" — but that space would be better given over to something slightly more high-end. Enjoy it now with gamey meats or hard cheeses
