Notes:
If you like classic quality
clarets you will be amazed by this wine, because for the price, is incredible.
Dark deep red in color with a
touch of violet, the nose is incredible bringing lots of dark red fruits,
pepper and oak, with a light touch of vanilla.
The palate is very well
balanced offering a good length and lots of complexity. A explosion of dark
berries and oak fills your mouth and evolves in there providing a silky mix of
well balanced flavors.
I have drunk four bottles of
this wine/vintage so far, and I must say that one of them contained a rather
different wine (I guess it goit spoiled somewhere), with no so much nose or
palate or complexity which would get a 69/100 mark. So if you are after this
wine, get two bottles just in case, but hopefully I got the only “not so good”
one.
