Dark ruby garnet, purple reflections, broader water edge. Attractive heart cherry fruit, DELICATE tangerine zest, floral touch, DELICATE mint, very closed at the moment. Juicy, highly elegant, fine extract sweetness, silky but firm tannins, DELICATE hints of chocolate and nougat, seems light on its feet, has immense length, yet this great wine should be given some more time to fully appreciate. Lock away!!!.

More about the tastingDeep dark ruby garnet, dark core, delicate edge brightening, water edge, fine currants, sloes on the nose, rather restrained, still rather silent, compact on the palate, everything is in the right place, designed for the future, fine chocolate note, the tannins are riper and sweeter, but appears comparatively medium-bodied, red berry on the finish, somewhat brittle due to the strong tannin, yet already accessible.
