90 Points

Thursday, November 2, 2023 - (WSET tasting note)

Nose: Clear, medium ruby

Appearance: Clean, medium intense. Blackcurrant plumb, tomato leaf, wetstone, vanilla, cloves, strawberry, violets

Palate: Dry, medium acidity, medium + ripe and smooth, rustic tannins. Medium alcohol, medium body and medium intensity.
Tomato leaf, cooked plumb, cherries, blackcurrant, vanilla, cloves and coffee.
Medium finish.

This wine is of very good quality. Primary fruits are matched by the acidity and both secondary flavours and tannis add to the complexity. For this wine to be of outstanding quality the tannins would have to be better integrated, which (due to its reduced suppression thereof) would lengthen the finish.

This wine is suitable for bottle ageing with decent primary aromas and acidity present it will likely develop well, balancing tertiary aromas and a better integrated tannin structure!
