Note di degustazione
I love the aromas here with black currant, black truffle, tanned leather and animal on the nose. Complex. Wet vineyard soil. Full-bodied, muscular and intense. It opens so well with air. Plenty of beautiful fruit and balance. Goes on for minutes. Intriguing wine that changes all the time. 97% cabernet sauvignon with a hint of merlot. Better in two or three years but enjoy it now too.

(14.7% alcohol; 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Malbec): Bright medium ruby. Lovely perfumed lift to the aromas of licorice pastille, violet and crushed stone. Densely packed and fine-grained, with a near-perfect sugar/acid balance giving the wine early sex appeal. But this superconcentrated, extremely primary wine boasts outstanding sweet/savory black fruit and dark chocolate intensity and a powerful spine to support aging. Wonderfully palate-staining on the back end, finishing with sweet, noble tannins. For those who maintain that Cabernet Sauvignon can surpass Malbec in parts of Mendoza, this mineral-driven wine would make a strong argument.
