Review

In its robust ruby garnet hue, with a gently expanding rim, this wine unveils a symphony of aromas, where delicate roasted nuances intertwine with the alluring notes of nougat, blackberries, subtle hints of vanilla, and a touch of herbal charm. The palate is a revelation of complexity, density, and sweetness, offering a luscious blackberry jam character with a subtle undercurrent of licorice, while the finish lingers gracefully with a mineral flourish. Despite the passage of time, it exudes a remarkable youthfulness, slowly but surely outshining the iconic '90s vintage. It is, without a doubt, an exceptional and praiseworthy bottle.

Review

Robust ruby garnet, with a slightly broader rim. Delicate roasted aromas with notes of nougat, black berries, hints of vanilla, and herbs. Complex, dense, and sweet, with a rich black berry jam character, a touch of licorice, a lingering finish with mineral notes. It appears very youthful and is gradually surpassing the '90s vintage. An excellent bottle.
