On the nose; ruby, dark currants, herbaceous notes, black licorice, vanilla, blackberries, black cherry, black plum, plum, strawberries with violets and fresh dark flowers.

On the palate; dark currants, blackberries, black cherries, black plum, strawberries, raspberries, anise, chalky minerals, touch of saline, stems, soft used leather, beautiful acidity and an elegantly, long, well polished finish.

Photos of, the De Martino Visitors Center, large oak barrels and the area Sebastian had dug out to show us the Estate soil structure. Of course, that’s him standing in it.

A very smooth wine for warm nights and good friends. Drinking this bottle feels like ending your day in a leather recliner with a good book and cigar.

Perfekt med kyllinglår fra stange gård, med røkt salt, olivenolje, pepper og timian. Søtpotet og jordskokkmos og en frisk salat 😋👍🏻
