Tasting Notes
Dark ruby with purple reflections and delicate edge brightening. Somewhat restrained, with fine herbal savouriness, a hint of black cherry and tobacco nuances. Juicy palate with fine fruit, ripe round tannins and delicate chocolate touches. Still appears somewhat underdeveloped and will benefit from bottle ageing.
More about the tastingDark ruby, purple reflections, already approachable. Fine wood savouriness, black berry fruit with soft notes of cassis and liquorice, inviting bouquet. Juicy with good complexity, fresh blackberries and tight-knit, firm tannins. Slightly spicy finish, still needs some time but has certain ageing potential.
