Tasting Notes
Dark garnet. Shows rich blackberry and cassis notes on the nose, with a hint of elderberry, elegant oak and black leather on the finish, complex and inviting. Shows itself with juicy, textured fruit on the palate, very compact, full, is already very accessible, well done.
More about the tastingDense, rich garnet with a delicately brightening rim. Still somewhat restrained on the nose, delicate woody savouriness, ripe dark berries. Full-bodied on the palate, also slightly salty, but unfortunately still with too much wood and a drying finish.
