Tasting Notes
Deep, dark ruby-garnet color, opaque core, violet highlights. Somewhat reserved on the nose, with ripe plums, herbs, and dark minerality. Powerful, black berries, racy acidity, still very youthful, almost impetuous, pronounced tannins, spicy finish, still somewhat unbalanced. It’s still very difficult to predict how this will develop, even though it has already been tasted three times, including when the bottle was full.

More about the tastingRestrained bouquet, underlaid with dark berry fruit, delicate tobacco spice, needs some air. Powerful, fresh sour cherry fruit, powerful, supporting tannins that still demand something, dark forest berries on the finish, a wine with enormous potential, shows great length, lingers for minutes.
