Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and has by the neck level. Colour is ruby red, and looking healthy, bright and deep. On the nose it is wide, refined, opulent and seductive. The taste is focused, elegant, refined, medium-bodied, with balanced, good texture, concentrated and complex structure. The finish is medium long, extensive, pure and spicy. This wine is sophisticated, intelligent and fine. I paid around 500-1k€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 2h before tasting. Good value for money.

Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
