Written Notes

Deep dark red colour. Intense and fresh nose with spices and ripe black fruits, still bit closed. Full-bodied palate shows refined tannins, vivid salinity and dense cassis and cherry fruitiness. MIneral lingering finish. At its best in 2035. – JL 93p (March 2024)

  • 93p

Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Rich nose with intense fruit, black cherries, blackcurrants and blueberries, dried aromatic herbs, gingerbread spices, cocoa and toasted oak. On the palate well balanced with ripe tannins, excellent structure, dark berries and black stone fruit, elegant spiciness. Although the vintage conditions, the wine kept a certain freshness. A wine with a mild yet long finish. (cask sample)
