Besides, cool nights and not very hot days at the end of the cycle were excellent for a complete ripening of the grapes, full of nuances.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tVinification: The fruit is manually selected and picked in small cases. After destemming the grapes are stored in 2.000 liter open fermenter tanks and cold maceration at 8ºC during 8 days. Three times a day the cap of the skins is submerged manually (pigeage) and after the alcoholic fermentation is finished at a controlled temperature, the wine is macerated until the wine maker determines the appropriate extraction polyphenols. The malolactic fermentation is carried out in new French oak barrels\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAgeing: It takes place in the same barrels for 18 months racking every 6 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e(made from vines that are over 80 years old; aged in all new French oak for 18 months):  Inky purple.  An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes candied dark berries, woodsmoke, incense and violet pastille.  Stains the palate with concentrated, almost shockingly vivacious black and blue fruit flavors.  Smooth, sweet and expansive on the clinging, energetic finish.-Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 93 Points\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tTASTING NOTES\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tColor: Deep cherry color\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tNose: Very expressive, elegant and complex with ripe fruit, mineral notes, sweet spices, chocolate aromas and intense toasts.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tTaste: Powerful, tasty, round and very smooth.
