TASTING NOTE: An engaging presentation for this wine with its deep ruby-red color and the complex and delicate fragrances of black berries and leather, underlined by a woody finish; fresh and ample on attack, the mouth unrolls velvety tannins that remain silky until the final; a perfect balance. Already very harmonious, this vintage has the structure to age well. Score - 2 Stars (out of 3) (hachette-vins.com, 2016) |
