Tasting notes
Medium red. Tangy raspberry, bitter cherry, minerals, mocha and smoke on the nose, sweetened by toasty oak. Silky and lush, with lovely floral lift contributing to the impression of inner-mouth energy. This tangy, seamless, highly concentrated wine spreads seductively over the palate. Finishes very juicy and long. Classy wine.

Deep red-ruby. Very dark aromas of cassis, blackberry, licorice, minerals, tar and violet. Juicy, tightly wound and impressively concentrated, with black fruit flavors wrapped around a firm acid spine. Penetrating, structured and very long, with lovely clarity of flavor. Still a trace of malic acidity remaining.
