A beautiful wine from an excellent vintage.
This wine is full of evolved notes: tobacco, leather and earth. It also charms with its fruit: blackcurrant, cherries, lingonberry. The structure: tannins are well incorporated, gentle yet still powerful. Due to these tannins and a great acidic backbone this wine has a great chance to survive at least the next decade in the cellar.
