Note di degustazione
Bright medium ruby. Lively if discreet scents of blackberry, cassis, mocha, Baker's chocolate and graphite minerality; some medicinal and herbal notes emerged with air. Quite suave and vinous, with its dark berry, licorice and spice flavors enlivened by bright acidity. An herbal element adds lift and life to the middle palate without impinging on the fruit. Finishes with well-buffered, building tannins and lovely rising length. A sophisticated Cabernet and a big success for the vintage.

Dark red. Musky redcurrant, licorice, smoke, tobacco, mocha and brown spices on the slightly medicinal nose. Supple, smooth and ripe but with little easy sweetness to the flavors of redcurrant, smoke, herbs and menthol. Finishes with firm, dusty tannins and very good length. This is carrying nearly 15% alcohol but hardly comes across as modern and overripe.
