Written Notes

Good looking magnum size bottle, is in a good condition and level is 4cm ullage below the cork. Colour is straw, and looking healthy and deep. On the nose it is mature, opulent and seductive. The taste is round, elegant, perfumed, medium-bodied and with balanced structure. The finish is medium long, round, flavorful and vibrant. This wine is transparent, sophisticated and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 15min before tasting.
