Tasting Notes
Strong ruby garnet, deep core, delicate violet reflections, delicate watery rim. Fine animal nuances on the nose, delicate quince jelly, a hint of rose hip jam, ripe, developed bouquet with delicate ethereal nuances, fine touch of cedar wood. A full-bodied, complex texture on the palate, dark berry fruit, firm, very well-integrated tannins, hints of licorice, the wood note becomes somewhat more austere and demanding on the finish, has good length, a potential long-distance runner. Drink/storage +20
