Tasting Notes

Deep, purple robe.
Rich, bouquet, nice concentration of crystallised berry and spice aromas. Powerful attack on the palate, subtle yet tight tannins with a long finish. The mineral notes strengthen the length of the fruit. The Combination of this wines strong concentrated aromas and tannins with its great acidity, give it exceptional potential over time. It will certainly keep up to 12 or 15 years. Best enjoyed with red meat or large game.

Black in color. Gorgeous aromas of crushed blackberry, violet and dark chocolate lead to a full-bodied palate, with powerful, chewy tannins and loads of beautiful fresh fruit. Very extracted, but this should mellow with time. Best after 2015.
