TASTING NOTES

Vibrant and powerful in its highly characterful intensity and purity of expression. Brooding blackberry and blueberry fruit, caramelized cherry, warmed raspberry and dried cranberries intermingle with a charismatic inky, meaty blackness. Fragrant violets and roses charmingly contrasts dried spices, liquorice, herbs and a seductive undercurrent of earthy, smoky, mineral graphite. Brightness of acidity and finely structured tannins are nicely balanced by velvety texture and chalky power. A youthful and energetic wine with a strong self-confidence which will benefit from further bottle maturation for optimizing harmony and integration.
