Tasting Notes

ABV:

13.5 %

Notes

Harvested at 15º but with all of the body and richness to balance. Powerful and impressive, this has great stature, with great savoury complexity, firm tannic structure, wonderfully ripe wild cherry and bramble fruit, dark chocolate, and a wonderful herbal and mineral lift on the finish.

Notes

Deep red-ruby. Superripe, brooding nose of roasted red fruits, garrigue herbs, espresso, leather and nuts. Dense and generous in the mouth, with superb breadth of flavor but also excellent grip for such a ripe wine. This shows wonderful subtle intensity and incipient complexity. Finishes very long, firm and suave, with the fine tannins reaching the front teeth. Compelling Chateauneuf with the balance to age gracefully.
