Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, slightly watery rim. Dark wild berry fruit, hints of blackberry and cassis, still a somewhat restrained bouquet, with mineral underpinnings. Powerful, pronounced fruit, vivid tannins that are still demanding, chocolaty touch, it lingers very well and needs a few more years to fully develop.
