Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is ruby red, and looking clear and mature. On the nose it is wide and complex. The taste is perfumed,voluptuous, elegant, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, with silky tannins, and average in acidity, medium-bodied and with perfectly balanced structure. On the palate it is layered and has mineral, tobacco, cassis, coffee, truffles and earthy flavours. The finish is long and gentle. This wine is excellent. I paid around 50-100€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 5-10€ years, decant at least 30min before tasting and this is a good invest wine. Good value for money. I do recommend.

Purple red with garnet red hue and black core. Opulent character with slightly ethereal and spicy aroma, black cherries, plums, cedar-wood and discreet leather. On the palate opulent, dense and spicy with closed character, displays complex fruit, elegant spicyness, freshness, weight and length.
