Tasting from 12.02.2016

Dark ruby with purple reflections and a delicate watery rim. A multi-faceted bouquet of wild berry confit underlaid with delicate smoky-spice, savoury notes of fine oak and subtle nougat with a dark minerality. The complex palate is full-bodied with a fruity texture, firm, well-integrated tannins, fine acidity, salinity and delicate chocolate and ripe black cherry notes on a finish which has excellent length. This is at the beginning of a glorious career. But at the moment, this wine gives only a vague hint of what it will show in ten years and more, patience is absolutely required here. (Store/Drink +50).

Very dark ruby in colour with purple reflections. On the nose, a multi-faceted bouquet with restrained undertones of tobacco, with dark berry fruit, cherry, exotic spices, and fresh orange zest. The palate is full-bodied and silky, with wonderful fruit redolent of cherry and sweet wild berries, finessed acidity, perfect tannins, mineral, powerful and balanced, with great length, great flavour theatre.
