Tasting Notes
On the nose, delicately floral, with fine herbal spice, pleasant berry confit, and a subtle touch of fine oak. The palate is rich in finesse, full-bodied, with crunchy tannins, fruity, already very well balanced, showing good length, an excellent food wine. Store/drink +40 years.
More about the tastingBarrel sample, spring 2001: Dark ruby garnet, very deep color at the core, the nose very closed, almost blocked, good glycerin, still rough on the palate, no charm at all, some roasted aromas, lots of black tea, overall very elegant texture, but lacks a little sweetness.
