Written Notes

Wholesaler bottled. Fill level high shoulder. Cloudy, delicately medium deep brownish-orange colour. Medium strong nose with matured nuances and hints of bouillon, root vegetables and animals. Lively, acid, medium full and intensive taste accentuated by firm powdery tannins. Balanced by the hints of boiled root vegetables and balsam typical of very matured wine. A multilayered, firm and intensive highly matured wine with a longer life to expect, although no improvement.
