Winemaker’s notes
Tasting note
An aromatic nose of red and dark berries, wild berries and cherries, with subtle spice and oak notes. Hints of nougat, cedar, delicate tobacco or leather sometimes emerge. The tannins are silky, elegant and well integrated. The palate is balanced, with pleasant acidity and oak aromas. The lingering, mineral and saline finish carries subtle oak spice and persistent fruit, with freshness and finesse.
