| Tasting tips |
Color: Very dense inky/purple color
Aromas: Very charming and intense ripe fruit aromas with pure black currant, cherry, and plum jam. This fine fruit is followed by a subtle wood with mocha, espresso roast, toasted white bread, licorice, hints of chocolate and a touch of spices.
Taste: A powerfull pure fruit attack is followed by a deep mid-palate, with a low acidity, a ripe dense tannin, and a textured fleshy long finsh.
This wine has got a beautifull harmony, with an impressive concentration and balance. An outstanding wine, already extremely enjoyable and drinkable despite its youth. It shows however an excellent aging potential.
