Tasting note
A solid red with currants, berries and hints of licorice and spice. Full body, firm tannins and a long, long finish. Shows length and beauty. Score - 92. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, July 28, 2015)
This dry cherry-red coloured wine features intense empyreumatic, spicy and fruity scents and offers a broad texture as well as firm tannins.
