Tasting Notes:
-
Color: It is a deep ruby red wine with purple tones and a vibrant color.
-
Nose: Aromas of black cherry and black currant, blackberry, huckleberry, raspberry. Violet flowers. Delicate herbal notes of rosemary and clove. Balsamic notes of eucalyptus and spices such as black & white peppers. Elegant oak, nutmeg, vanilla and cocoa. The aromatic profile is complex, elegant and continuously evolving.
-
Palate: restrained and full-bodied. It is an unctuous wine that wraps around the palate. Dry, with lots of lively fruit, fresh acidity and a warm alcohol. The tannins are ripe, polished but firm, giving it a velvety body. The finish is reminiscent of black fruit, subtle caramel and fine herbs & spices.
The set of qualities in its appearance, aromatic profile and expression on the palate, outline an ultra-premium wine. Excellent to drink it in its youth or to cellar for up to 15 years.
