Tasting Notes
Dark ruby, purple reflections, delicate bright rim. Still somewhat restrained, ripe cherry note, pleasant herbal savouriness, dark wild berry in the background. Juicy, subtle liquorice, dark nougat, vivid tannins, taut and persistent, fine spicy finish, chocolate touch in the aftertaste, it has certain ageing potential.
