Tasting Notes

94
Tasting from 24.06.2013

Dark ruby colour, opaque core, purple reflections, slightly watery rim. Initially somewhat restrained, fine nougat, underlaid with ripe cherry, pleasant touch of fine oak. Powerful, juicy, dark berry fruit, firm tannins, gentle hints of caramel, pronounced fruit on the aftertaste. It lingers for a long time, and it has certain ageing potential.
