Tasting Notes

92
Tasting from 22.03.2013

Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, delicate rim brightening. Sweet spices on the nose, some nougat, underlaid with black forest berry confit, tobacco nuances, pleasant herbal spice, ripe plums. Opulent on the palate, juicy, sweet berry confit, licorice, round tannins, chocolaty finish with mineral undertones, already showing balance, great length, lots of potential. (post-tasting/cork) (86 - 27th rank)
