Tasting Notes
Strong ruby garnet, delicate ochre reflections, subtle edge brightening. Dark berry confit with a hint of ethereal nuances, some cassis and tobacco. Medium body, black berries, present tannins, fresh structure, mineral touch on the finish, chocolaty nuances in the aftertaste, still needs more bottle ageing.
