Tasting notes
Good full red-ruby. Very spicy, extroverted nose offers dark berries, licorice, clove, menthol and leather. Taut and densely packed, with complex, perfumed, soil-driven flavors of dark fruits, spices, game and underbrush. Really saturates the mouth without leaving any impression of weight. Finishes very long, with suave, fully enrobed tannins and nicely integrated acidity. This has plenty of subtle power for aging.

Good bright red-ruby. Precise, complex nose melds blackberry, violet and pungent minerality. Dense, fleshy and suave if a bit youthfully imploded. At once seamless and sappy, already conveying captivating inner-mouth perfume. Finishes very long and floral, with perfectly integrated sweet tannins. A beauty in the making.
