Tasting notes :
Blackcurrant, lifted spice, dark and spicy mineral aromatics with a lush, warm, richly-textured mouthfeel, lots of depth and length. Medium ruby-purple in color. It has intense aromas of warm strawberry and raspberry with game and earth nuances plus touches of cedar, some cinnamon and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate gives taut, savory fruit structured by medium-high acid and a medium level of fine tannins, finishing long. This wine shows lots of depth, concentration and persistence.
