Tasting notes:
This wine presents a captivating brick red hue with a medium ruby core, showcasing a touch of age that adds complexity. The nose is beautifully perfumed, revealing an enticing bouquet of violets and red flowers, alongside intriguing balsamic notes. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, characterized by a core of ripe prune and cherry jam, complemented by meaty and savory elements, including dark Morello cherries. The tannins are notably gripping and chewy, imparting a robust structure that is both alluring and somewhat drying on the finish. While the wine exhibits a lovely balance of oak spice and hints of caramel chocolate, the lingering finish leans towards a bittersweet chocolate character, leaving a mouth-coating sensation.
