Note di degustazione
Dark violet. Red and black berries, vanilla and oak spice on the highly perfumed nose, plus a smoky note in the background. Supple and expansive on the palate, offering densely packed black raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors and a hint of candied flowers. The gently tannic, appealingly sweet and persistent finish leaves vanilla and dark fruit liqueur notes behind.

I sampled the unbottled 2017 reds, including the 2017 AN, the flagship bottling here. It's mostly Callet with some Mantonegro and Fogoneu found in the small vineyards and comes from a dry, early and low-yielding year. The wine I tasted was a sample of the final blend that was taken from barrel and assembled some ten days before I tasted it. I found plenty of luxurious oak aromas—smoke, spices, dark chocolate and toast—with something creamy and a core of ripe berry fruit. The palate was voluptuous and juicy, with creamy and smoky notes, very oaky, in need of some time in bottle. But I think this will always remain oaky. This is a great commercial red that will please many, but I find that the identity of the place and varieties gets lost in all that new oak. 20,000 bottles should be bottled around March-April 2019.
