Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red and medium. On the nose it is intense, open, complex, refined, ripe and round. The taste is round, fruity, vivid, and dry, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with balanced and well-structured structure. On the palate it is layered and has plum, blackberry, spice and floral flavours. The finish is long, lingering 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.
