Tasting notes
Eye: Deep dark colour with mauve tints.
Nose: Spices, black fruits and delicate oak aromas. A dense, expressive and intense nose.
Palate: A tannic and racy wine. Aromas of prunes, blackberry and vanilla. Powerful, concentrated and structured palate.
Overall: A wine from a tannic and muscular vintage due to the hot climate. Solid tannins, well rounded by long oak ageing.
