ON THE PALATE
To the eye it has a radiant, ruby-red core with a cherry-red rim. On the nose, it is extremely fine and dense, with hints of early autumn leaves, violets, roasted almonds, juniper berries, red meat and iodine, followed by clear fruity notes such as redcurrants, blackcurrants and sour cherries. On the palate, it has a lively acidity with fine-grained tannins creating a dense, powerful structure. The wine derives considerable freshness and length from its minerality and displays subtle iron notes. The wood is perfectly integrated.
EVENTS IT MAKES MAGICAL
