Tasting Notes
Dark ruby with purple reflections, brightening at the rim. The mineral bouquet has savoury smoky oak notes, with nuances of cassis and liquorice, fresh tangerine zest, and a hint of juniper leaf. Complex and juicy, with pronounced ripe cherry fruit texture, fine, well-integrated tannins, and fresh acidity. Very long, with blackberries on the finish. Certain ageing potential (2020-2060).
