Great visual impact with intense, bright ruby red color with wide purple border.
Intense perfume of violet, cherry and cassis as well as mint and spicy notes of vanilla, cinammon and hint of black pepper.
On the palate an explosion of the softness of the fruit flavors, which are impressive , focused and delicious.
The tannins are pleasingly sweet and silky , coating the palate and creating a perfect balance with the acidity and the alcohol.
The finish is very long and elegant, leaving tones of violet, fruits and a bit of vanilla.
A wine with wonderful body and tannins which will benefit from cellaring and will develop well with further aging.
This is probably one of the best vintages for this wine, so if you have some bottle, you can keep them on hold for the next 10 ~ 15 years, as the wine will surely improve with time.
