Producer tasting notes: "The wine has an intense, deep black colour.. The nose reveals intense ripe fruit aromas and nutmeg notes set off by touches of mint. The ample, full and refined attack opens on blackberry and cherry flavours lifted by a hint of spice. Generous , creamy and well-rounded tannins underpin candied flavours, giving an overall impression of succulence. Great balance between the fruit and the tannins paves the way for a highly refined and exceptionally long finish."
The label of this 2018 vintage was created by the contemporary Chinese artist Xu Bing.
