Tasting notes: Excellent concentration of aromas and flavours, dense and rich, layers of spicy black fruits, licorice and mineral notes add complexity and volume. Elegant style that should mature beautifully.

Notes: It is recommended to decant before serving. This wine has a great potential for ageing, should evolve for another few years and will gain with some time in bottle.
