Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-garnet colour, purple reflections, subtle rim brightening. Somewhat restrained bouquet, tobacco, dark berry nuances, delicate hints of cassis and liquorice, but also leafy savouriness. Full-bodied, ripe plum fruit, subtle fruit sweetness, well-balanced, lingers well, seems a little withdrawn at the moment, should be given some time, has very good further certain ageing potential.
