More about the tastingStrong ruby, good depth of colour, brightening on the edge. The bouquet is unusually accessible and full of sweet blackberryish fruit, fine wood savouriness of cedar, nougat, fine peppery spice, a hint of honey, very animating fragrance. Rich and very attractive, sumptuous fruit, round tannins, long-lasting, comparatively accessible, compared to the otherwise monolithic wines. It develops into an incredibly complex charmer in the glass, is clearly in a real high phase with great drinking animation; there is still a lot of ageing potential in this wine. (100 PP).
