Tasting notes

Intense ruby red color. Complex nose, reminiscent of small red berries, blackberry, wild strawberry. Delicate floral notes of violet, with balsamic hints. On the palate, it is bold, enveloping, and full-bodied, with silky tannins that make this wine long and persistent.

 

 

"This has lots of energy with a crunchy and vivid sense to it. Sour cherry, orange peel and cedar undertones. It’s medium-bodied, sleek and racy. Super vivid". 96/100 James Suckling 2024

"Medicinal herbs and vanilla weave through dark red cherry. The ripe, dense, fleshy fruit is coated with ample dusty tannins, while zesty, citrussy acidity gives a refreshing, countering lift. It leaves behind resounding suggestions of leather, chinotto and earthy forest roots, and deserves cellaring". 95/100 Dcecanter 2024
