Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby red. On the nose there are first notes of mustard seeds, dried rose petals, raspberries, ripe cherries and subtle resinous tones, reminiscent of plaster on the aftertaste. Hearty on the palate with tightly woven tannins, punchy, stoney, finishing with polished red fruit, currently still a bit unbalanced.
