Tasting Notes
Very dark ruby with an opaque core and purple reflections. Already approachable. Sweet spice nuances combine with dark berry fruit, delicate liquorice, and fine oak, as well as ripe cherries in the background. Complex, juicy, and pronounced in fruit texture, it has fine, ripe tannins, noticeable Cabernet Franc content, good freshness, and a long mineral finish. It has the potential to age for many years. (2020-2050)
