Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red and deep. On the nose it is youthful, intense, charming, generous, rich and ripe. The taste is fruity, focused, silky, refined, toasty, with silky tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with perfectly balanced, well-structured structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has blueberry, cassis, spice, cherry, blackberry, toasty and perfumed flavours. The finish is long, flavorful, spicy and vibrant. This wine is fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
