Tasting Notes

A very nice ruby/purple robe. Intense aromas of black cherry. Very rich in the mouth with delicate expression of dark berry fruits. The texture is pure and elegant, with very fine tannins and a beautiful structure. To be served at around 60–62°F with roasted meat, all games and all kind of cheeses.

Points

Ripe red cherry on the nose is perfumed with a leafy forest-fruit vibe. That lifted aroma carries over to the taut palate where it hovers above the firm structure, brightening the wine. Fine tannins crunch while freshness tingles, countered by 2018’s ripeness. —A.K.
