Tasting notes:
This wine exhibits a notably deep hue with a brick-red rim, suggesting maturity. The nose is intriguing, revealing a blend of floral notes, particularly geranium, alongside subtle hints of green. On the palate, it presents a complex interplay of flavors, including caramel and milk chocolate intertwined with strawberry jam, complemented by earthy elements of leaf and capsicum. The tannins are fine yet firm, providing structure, while the oak influence is ripe and sweet, balanced by green undertones. Overall, it displays vinous and developed characteristics, with pronounced tertiary notes reminiscent of olives, alongside wild, gamy qualities and vibrant fruit.
