Bright garnet with a hint of brick red at the rim. A nose of plum and raisin cordial, the purest dark chocolate and herb infused cough syrup. Rich & ripe with black fruit shot through with pure, freshening acidity and wrapped up in bitter tannins that add bite then subside to leave a lingering sense of chocolate sauce over raisins and summer fruits. At 7 years it's evidently hit its stride without showing any signs of old age. A marvel. My first Sardinian. If this is anything to go by, the first of many.
