Written Notes

1920 (magnum)” 24 september, good quality, medium sized crop, some wines were really good”. The first wine of the series that shows a red colour, however rather aged with a pale rim. Excellent nose – cigar box, walnut, leather, quite classic yet with a great purity of fruit. Quite full bodied with an assertive structure really well kept with sweet fruit and plenty of tannic backbone, truly long finish, still a bit austere finish with some green notes but really good.
