Tasting notes
Powerful and intense with oaky, earthy and black fruit notes, this wine has an important ageing potential to reveal a beautiful freshness and a great elegance.
Expert Rating
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94/100
"Medium to deep garnet colored with a touch of brick, it charges out of the glass sporting energetic notes of kirsch, blackberry preserves and blackcurrant pastilles with underlying scents of star anise, cumin seed, potpourri, oolong tea and tobacco leaf plus a waft of incense. The medium-bodied, exquisitely elegant palate explodes with a myriad of exotic spice, floral and dried berries notes, framed by soft tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and with impeccable poise and sophistication." Lisa Perrotti-Brown
