Under-rated sleeper! Herminia grows this difficult grape tremendously well, which few others dare to attempt. Keeps on getting better for hours after pulling the cork. Deep and dark. Creamy richness. Doesn't bite. Forward, fruity, aromatic, long in finish. Quite a triumph.

Interesting upfront character of dark dry fruit but it dies pretty quick. No finish. Bit disappointing. Been lookout at this bottle for many years with great anticipation.

15.5/20 (86/100) Ароматы душистого перца, гвоздики и чёрных ягод. Умеренная кислотность и мягкие танины. Добротно сделанная, понятная крианза.
