A very deep, black-cherry colour with purplish undertones. The core is so deep it is almost opaque. A very youthful colour, hardly developed at all for its age. Great concentration and depth on the nose with a complex array of aromatics that have developed with the wine’s ageing in bottle, and which will be enhanced even more by longer ageing.
Fruit sensations come to the fore, particularly red berry fruit and perfectly ripe forest fruit, such as blackberries, red currants and wild strawberries, together with floral notes (violet petals) and minerals (graphite and iron filings). Some spicy touches brought by the ageing process, such as cinnamon and black pepper, also come through. Well integrated oak demonstrates the high quality of the oak selected.
Powerfully structured on the palate with good body and firm, high-quality tannins of great elegance combine with wonderful acidity. A sensation of seamless solidity, without any aggressiveness whatsoever. Robust with great balance leading to a sensation of lovely freshness. Flavoursome and full, with layers of complex fruit flavour, minerality and spices. The aromas revealed on the nose return on the palate but with more definition and precision. A long, full and elegant finish.
