TASTING NOTES

• SIGHT: Deep purple-red with ruby reflections
• NOSE: Dense bouquet of wild forest fruits, blackberry and prune, with gentle notes of flowers (rose) and tea leaves. Enhanced by memories of liquorice, graphite and wild herbs
• PALATE: Powerful, elegant, and stark. Supported by smooth tannins, underlying minerality and ample acidity. Everlasting finish that perfectly matches the nose
