Top Notes For
Dark red with evolution to ruby and slight browning at the edge. Sweet, jammy dark fruit (blueberries, blackberries) in the nose, after swirling cocoa, coffee and oak, with a distinctive hint of fresh rosemary. Rich, full-bodied, sweet black fruit and spices, good acidity to balance the noticeable alcohol. Powerful, but soft tannin and a bitter chocolate, alcohol-driven finish. Not a very elegant wine, but has character. Retasted it again the next day: oak seemed more obvious and spices dominating the fruit. 2009 vintage, 15,5% abv., 50 euro (about 56 $)
