Description: Intense and deep ruby red colour. With longer maturing, it takes on ruby red to brick hues. A noble and intense bouquet. Complex notes of ripe fruit, violets, coconut, cherries in liqueur, liquorice, toast, leather and ‘goudron’, all elegantly enriched with fresh and soft spiciness. It is dry and soft in the mouth at the same time, enveloping and perfectly balanced thanks to the harmony between acids and tannins. The tasting is enlivened by a very pleasant tannic texture, minerality and persistence. The wine is full, elegant, and pleasantly fresh. Long and noble aftertaste.
Great potential for bottle maturing.
