Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is purple, and looking bright and deep. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, round and ripe. The taste is with medium tannin, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has blackberry, blackcurrant, mint, meaty, spice and toasty flavours. The finish is medium long and round. This wine is sophisticated. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
