Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red with brightening on the rim. Lots of expression and character on the nose, cassis, bell pepper, mint, precious wood, smoke. The palate is punchy, compact, with many layers, has tight tannins, plus juicy undertone, currently still very young, will develop magnificently.
More about the tastingDark ruby red with a delicate purple core. Great, inviting nose of juicy cassis, elderberry, plus a generous use of oak and milk chocolate in the background, finally incense on the finish. On the palate with noble, although very noticeable oak use, shows fine savouriness and generous cassis on the tongue, on the finish it is still very young, finishes currently rough and raw, definitely needs storage.
