Tasting note
This dry and ruby coloured red showcases a complex nose releasing animal, woody, empyreumatic, spicy, fruity and vegetal scents. You will be charmed with this full-bodied wine revealing a broad texture, firm tannins and a long finish.
Spicy oak aromas greet the nose, while concentrated flavours of black currant, plum and graphite are buried underneath. The subtle use of French oak lends the wine a smooth, textured character that allows the fruit to shine. With the refined tannins and a lingering finish of fruit, spice and mineral, the 2010 Oculus is a compelling combination of power and finesse.
