Tasting Notes
Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Dark cherries underlaid with minerals, black berries, fine herbal spices, smoky nuances of precious wood, a multi-faceted bouquet. The palate is elegant and mineral, showing rather medium complexity, well-matured tannins, pleasant fruit and minerality. After a very slow development, has now reached a good maturity and will certainly be able to maintain this good level for longer.
