Written Notes

Tasted in september 2015. 50% M, 35% CF and 15% CS) confirmed all the great things about this vintage. Very enchanting and captivating aroma of blueberries, perfectly ripe fruit, finely grained tannin, excellent acidity, depth, balance and long caressing aftertaste. More emphasis here on elegance than on concentration. No sign of advanced ageing here! Heartbreaker wine of great caliber.
