Tasting Notes
On the nose cranberry, grape sugar, some pepper and spicy tones, thyme, sage, all fresh and clear, incredibly youthful! On the palate the wine has a ripe, grainy, still taut tannin, with an early finish characterised by complex herbal aromas, which also include slightly "wild" tones, wild berries. Uncomplicated density, supple, juicy and structural motifs are finely-meshed, as if from a single mould. There is even a hint of astringency at the end, with an intense mineral background and excellent length.
