Tasting Notes
Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, DELICATE rim brightening. Ripe dark berries, black heart cherries, a breath of figs and nougat, candied purples and fine noble wood nuances in the background, very multilayered bouquet. Substantial and complex, sweet wild berryish fruit, fine nougat, ripe, silky but supporting tannins, has impressive length and savouriness, a multi-faceted companion at the table. (2020-2060) .
More about the tastingDeep garnet, opaque core, purple reflections. Inviting bouquet with a hint of ripe figs and strawberry confit, dark berry fruit, a hint of liquorice, smoky savoury nuances in the background. Complex and full-bodied on the palate, very substantial and at the same time mineral with vivid, ripe tannins giving the wine an incredible length, fine nougat, underpinned wtih good freshness, a wine with a secure future but not very accessible at the moment and still needs a lot of time. (2030 - 2070).
