More about the tastingDark, dense ruby garnet. Concentrated dark fruit on the nose. Clear minerality here too. Juicy on the palate and much fresher than in 2011, but also nice sweetness at the core. Good tannins, beautiful texture and minerality. Very long finish with some dark chocolate. Very balanced and well-balanced.
