Tasting Notes
Notes of wine soaked oak in the cellar, with cedar, sandalwood, some crushed punnet fruits, verging to blackberry, with enough herbaceous notes, to keep it savoury. The grip that comes from the tannin is excellent, and keeps the wine interesting, and gives it this slightly more classical character. It still has a hint of Tuscany about it, that Montalcino note, and the elegant fruit of Cupano. This is serious wine. I love it. Drinking now, absolutely. It's fabulous. But a gem that will drink even better in 3 to 6 years. It will surely go longer, but there's a lot to enjoy now.
