Tasting Notes
Bright ruby colour. Opens with pro- nounced spicy notes, some cardamom and thyme, then juicy Morello cherries, plums and pomegranate, seems very fresh. On the palate, sturdy, densely meshed tannin, finely worked out fruit, shows very good tension, salty and with a long finish, earthy.
