Tasting Notes

91 - 93
Tasting from 12.06.2018

Deep dark ruby, purple reflections, delicate bright rim. Underlaid with some herbal savouriness, ripe cherry, some plum notes, and fine oak spice. Juicy, complex, fine tannins, sweet blackberry fruit, with a nougat aftertaste. It is persistent, has a nice minerality, and is a versatile food wine with good potential.
