Tasting Notes
Upon visual examination the sample is clear, of a very intense ruby red color, almost impenetrable, consistent.
On the nose the bouquet of hints is varied: pot pourri of slightly withered red flowers, scent with notes of small dark berries, cherries in alcohol and hints of sweet spices such as cinnamon and vanilla, also licorice and nuances of black pepper in freshly ground beans.
The palate stands out with a tannin that is still a little impetuous, not perfectly smooth, but still pleasant. Intense and quite persistent, it gives an aftertaste of red fruits: cherry and blackberry. Pleasant wine overall and of fine quality, it needs a further period of refinement in the bottle, in order to best express all its potential. A wine to recommend.
It is recommended in combination with important dishes based on game.
