This wine matures for five years in oak barrels and in the bottle, which is also where the name comes from. For this vintage, preference was given to more French oak than American, which makes the wood note a bit lighter in this edition.

Intense red colour with purple hues. Powerhouse with a full body and a lot of complexity. Perfumed, with elegance and balance. Blackberries, plums, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla and smoky notes. Silky tannins, endless finish.
