Our last bottle. Spent 14 months in new French oak. 23.664 bottles produced.
Decanted 4 hrs. Some fine sediments. Dark purple colour. Fresh aroma of flowers and blackcurrant with a hint of oak. Full to medium body. Powerful in a modest way and quite elegant. Taste is showing berries with oak and minerals in the background. Hints of tobacco leaves. Well-structured wine with a good acidity/sweetness-balance. Long powerful aftertaste. Would like to find more bottles, if possible. 94 pts.
