Nose
The complex, intensely fresh bouquet opens on toasty notes, enhanced by powerful black fruit aromas.
Palate
The wine is generous, full-bodied and silky on the palate, and gains structure from the extremely fine-grained Cabernet tannins, which envelop the palate and are present throughout the tasting. It evolves towards an impressively long finish. The body, structure and freshness of the wine are remarkably well balanced. An extremely elegant wine with a great ageing potential.
