Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red, and looking dark and deep. On the nose it is intense, youthful, complex, ripe, refined, generous, rich and charming. The taste is full, round, harmonious, focused, ripe, fruity, perfumed, toasty, refined, powerful, with silky tannins, drying tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced, concentrated, well-structured structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice, perfumed, smoky, toasty and violet flavours. The finish is long, lingering, flavorful, vibrant and spicy. This wine is sophisticated, beauty, fine and impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least over 4h before tasting.
