The promise of a remarkable vintage was not fulfilled due to truly bad weather conditions during the harvest. Despite its difficult birth, 1993 has everything to be a great wine: richness, concentration, complexity and balance. Some say it is a miracle; at the very least it is proof of nature's genius.
