Review

Deep dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, subtle brightening at the edges. Somewhat reserved bouquet, delicate notes of licorice, sour cherries, pleasant hints of noble wood. Taut, ripe cherries, fine cassis, noticeable yet slightly demanding tannins, mineral and powerful in the finish, with a clear potential for further development.
