Tasting Notes
Dark ruby red with purple hues, subtle brightening on the rim. Refined roasted aromas, a hint of nougat, ripe red cherries, refined nuances of liquorice and cardamom, black cherries, multi-faceted, a mineral bouquet. Complex, dark berry fruit, sweet extract, firm, well-integrated tannins, fresh and salty on the finish, enormous length, but also great elegance, as concentrated as the 2005, but much more accessible thanks to its great, silky tannins. Already drinking well.
