Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Delicately herbal and savoury nougat notes, ripe plum fruit, delicate nuances of blackberry, a hint of fig in the background. Juicy, black cherry, fresh acidity structure, ripe, well-integrated tannins, mineral touch, salty nuances, good length, secure certain ageing potential.
