TASTING NOTE:
A brilliant, very bright vermilion colour and quite deep for the vintage. The nose has charm and smoothness with delicate vanilla notes coming through with oak, but not too much. Spices as usual are there in a very elegant style. The wine is very long, silky smooth with great harmony and delicate texture. A creamy finish brings notes of roasted coffee beans which add to the wine’s complexity. The tannins are savoury and coated.
