Dark ruby, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Finely spiced dark forest berries, nuances of blueberry and blackberry mingle with the typical cassis nuances, tobacco and herbal spices, tiny animalistic hints. Complex and full-bodied, ripe black cherry, fine, very well integrated tannins, juicy and with a pleasant freshness. Combines finesse with power, here you can feel the polish of the amphorae for the first time. 2015 is the year in which the caesura in the vineyard really arrived in the wine for the first time, and from now on no more second wines were produced. (2025 -2070).
More about the tastingDeep garnet with purple reflections and delicate rim brightening. Delicate herbal savouriness, a hint of liquorice, black cherry in the background, smokey underlying minerality. Powerful, juicy and sweet, perfectly embedded tannins, chocolatey touch on the finish, also pickled cherries. Long finish, certain ageing potential, but already drinkable now.

A very inviting bouquet with subtle black fruit nuances, hints of spice, ripe blackberries, sweet cherries and a touch of nougat. Juicy and elegant with pronounced fruit, fine tannins, mineral notes and a persistent finish. Definite ageing potential, and on track to become a classic.
