2007 vintage
Блестящий, прозрачный цвет с медным краем. В носе немного грязная бреттовая, но не неприятная нота прошутто крудо и глины, к которым добавляются тона тюльпанов и красной смородины. Во вкусе пьяная вишня, калина, чуть-чуть лавра и молотого перца, выраженная минеральность. Приятная тонизирующая кислотность и тонкие, графичные танины. Легко и свежо, но с хорошей структурой и глубиной. — 9 years ago

Super. Bright fruit, balanced acidity, a bit of heft from the blend, long tail. Really a bargain. — 25 days ago
