1 person found it helpfulOct 15th, 2014Learnt from the last bottle and decanted at midday for an 8pm meal. Ridiculous but it honestly took at least 7 hours to open up and show itself. Luscious chocolate dark plum/cherry, full bodied, long length, fine sweet tannins, acidity gives it a nice lift. Beautifully balanced.

after adequate decanting, taste very powerful and smooth. dark fruit nose. full body, silky tannnin and very bold. 8/10 acidity to form pretty good structure and long lasting up to 15 seconds.

Vinstockar som vuxit på vulkanisk jord. Lät den här öppna upp sig under sju timmar på karaff. Doften är väldigt frisk med röda bär tillsammans med pepparmynta, satsumas, rosor. Smaken är först massa svartvinbär, följt av sötlakrits, vanilj, körsbär, blåbär. Lång syra, mineral sälta och silkiga taniner.

Dec 18th, 2015Beautiful full bodied red. Not dry and really fruity. Needs time to decant (at least 3/4 hours). Worth the wait!
