Tasting notes

Intense, powerful, strong, and structured nose. Excellent energy, this is a good quality wine, quite bold and rich, velvety and clearly powerful with tannins that are currently at the forefront and completely cover the palate. It is also juicy, with bright flavors of strawberry and cherry, and a fresh, minty finish. The whole is of great beauty. A wine to keep for a few years before opening.
