“This wine has a ripe core, rich in black fruit tones and firm tannins. It is a structured wine, but at the same time it has supporting black-fruit flavors at the center. It should age well, and will probably be ready to drink after 2025.”
“Dark ruby-garnet, opaque core, subtle lightening at the rim; a hint of dried fruit and candied orange zest, underlaid by subtle herbal spice. Robust, with notes of nougat and dark berry fruit; integrated tannins, showing signs of maturity on the finish—possesses potential.”
