More about the tastingMedium carmine-garnet colour, ochre reflections, broad brightening on the rim. Multifaceted bouquet, incredibly juicy and sweet, nuances of ripe plums, a hint of leather, nougat and herbs, opens up well in the glass, shows all the savouriness of its terroir. Very substantial and full-bodied, sweet berryish fruit, fine, still vivid tannins that give the wine enormous support, light cassis touch in the finish, fruity and with great length, also full of ripe fruit in the aftertaste, still flexes its muscles in the finish. A classic, unmistakable and full of character. Currently in full swing. (100 PP).
