Tasting Notes
Medium ruby-garnet in colour, with a delicately watery rim. Very finely animalistic nuances on the nose, alongside spiced cassis and orange zest - an incredibly complex bouquet. Silky and elegant on the palate, with simply superlative tannins that create an incredibly finely structured profile with a seductive acidity. Heart cherries in the finish, which is powerful and long-lasting and has a cedar touch. Great length, perfect maturity, a world-class wine. Drink/store +20.
