Note di degustazione
Dark purple. A sexy, intensely perfumed bouquet evokes dark berry liqueur, incense, potpourri and cola, with a smoky mineral nuance building as the wine opens in the glass. Juicy, seamless and alluringly sweet, offering concentrated blueberry, cherry-cola and floral pastille flavors and a strong suggestion of spicecake. This utterly palate-staining wine comes off as vibrant, even graceful, with silky tannins adding shape and grip to the extremely long finish.

Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2012 Shiraz Ares reveals primary aromas of crushed blackcurrants, black plums and blueberries with touches of dark chocolate, aniseed, menthol, cedar and yeast extract. Concentrated, rich, and packed with black fruits on the full-bodied palate, it has a solid backbone of firm, chewy tannins and lively acid propping up the generous flesh and the finish is very long with a little oak still poking through. Give it 3-5 more years of cellaring.
