Tasting Notes

97
Tasting from 13.02.2015

Dark ruby garnet with purple reflections and a watery rim suggesting some maturity. Intense dark berry fruit on the nose which is clearly marked by new wood. Some background hints of nougat and orange zest, but overall still seems somewhat underdeveloped. The palate is substantial and complex - immensely pronounced in fruit, with echoes of dark nougat. A very powerful finish, with great ageing potential, but definitely still needs its time.
