Written Notes

Dark purple colour with garnet hue. Very classical nose with hints of graphite and cedarwood, backed by ripe dark berries, mulberries, elder berries but also plums and hints of blackcurrants. The nose is complemented by hints of chocolate and balmy spices, rich yet elegant with multi-layered character. On the palate very elegant with ripe and almost silky tannins, fine acidity, multi-layered flavour quoting the nose, excellent depth and length.

Tasted in March 2017. This wine has a great reputation among wine-freaks and it was confirmed with aplomb one Tuesday inn March. Sensual, classy, fruity and aromatic nose of cherries and raspberries, as sensual, deep, sophisticated and long on the palate. Lingering and long finish. A wine this property should be very proud of.

Good looking magnum size bottle, in an perfect condition and has by the neck level. Colour is ruby red, and looking bright and medium. On the nose it is wide, intense, fresh, seductive and tempting. The taste is rich, elegant, toasty, with silky tannins, full-bodied, with balanced, well-structured and well-integrated structure. The finish is long, extensive and flavorful. This wine is sophisticated,well-rounded and impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
