Tasting Notes

APPEARANCE: Deep purple-red with ruby reflections.
NOSE: Dense bouquet of wild forest fruits, blackberries and prunes, with delicate notes of flowers (rose) and tea leaves. Enhanced by memories of licorice, graphite and wild herbs
PALATE: Powerful, elegant, and austere. Supported by smooth tannins, underlying minerality, and ample acidity. An everlasting finish that perfectly matches the nose.
