Tasting Notes

91
Tasting from 22.05.2014

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate watery rim. Pleasant spices, black berries, tobacco nuances, fine balsamic touch, typical bouquet. Juicy, elegant, ripe cherries, fine acidity, present tannins, delicate leafy touch on the finish, spicy aftertaste, should be allowed to mature a little more in the bottle.
