Maturing:
Half the vintage is matured in one-year-old oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting notes:
Black Fruits - Hazelnut & Coffee - Powerful - Generous
ASPECT: An intense, glittering crimson with a purple tint.
NOSE: The powerful, very intense and fruit-forward nose reveals a mixture of red and black berry fruit aromas, mingles with spicy notes of black pepper and subtle touches of vanilla, caramel and mocha.
PALATE:
From a powerful and complex attack, the medium-bodied mid-palate is underpinned by very mature tannins.
With good substance and balanced acidity, it reveals wild berry flavours, especially blackberries and bilberry.
Ripe fruit notes linger on the palate, togethr with a return of the spice notes found on the nose, while toasted hazelnut and roast coffee-bean flavours complete the long, rich and well-balanced finish, underpinned by elegant tannins.
