Full bodied, smooth and supple, showing ample ripe and balanced dark fruit with light spicy notes, good tannic grip and firm acidity. Delicious stuff. Had a glass at Finnairs lounge in Singapore with the various food.

Dark inky purple in colour. On the nose: oak and lots of sweet stewed red fruit (from the Grenache?), which followed through to the palate & (fortunately) disappeared by the second day, and gave way to more earthy notes. Smooth tannins, medium acidity, and a long peppery finish.

Rubinrote Farbe. An der Nase Waldfrüchte und Holz. Am Gaumen gut eingebundene Tannine, Schokolade, Vanille und viel dunkle Waldfrucht. Bei 16-17 Grad verkostet.
