Written Notes

A wine from a gravelly terroir. Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Quite powerful nose, however with closed character, ripe plums, black cherries, blackberries and hints of sloe in combination with dark chocolate and fine toasting, vanilla and hints of caramel in the background. On the palate well structured and balanced with closed character, dark berries, cocoa and hints of toasting, ripe yet firm tannins, fine acidity, excellent length. A wine with great personality and promising potential.

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is ruby red, and looking clear and deep. On the nose it is intense, seductive and complex. The taste is round,voluptuous, fruity, elegant, and dry, warming, with high tannin, with sweet tannins, silky tannins, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with complex, perfectly balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has toasty, raspberry, balsamic, new-oak and chocolate flavours. The finish is long and lingering. This wine is excellent. I paid around 50-100€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years. Good value for money. I do recommend.
