Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red, and looking dark and deep. On the nose it is open, youthful and generous. The taste is toasty, perfumed, with drying tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has spice, smoky, cassis, herbs and floral flavours. The finish is medium long and spicy. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
