Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is purple and deep. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, refined and charming. The taste is fresh, harmonious, fruity, vivid, with silky tannins, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has blackcurrant, coffee, toasty and new-oak flavours. The finish is long, lingering and pure. This wine is transparent and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
