Tasting Notes:
Opaque in colour. The nose shows expressive notes of wild berry fruit. The palate starts in a vigorous way and evolves into a compact, solid, concentrated wine. Massive, yet elegant tannins are perfectly integrated with retro-nasal aromas of wild berry fruit and light notes of fresh spice. This is a very engaging wine, with a lingering finish, and a long ageing potential.
