From one of my favorite value producers. This one sees oak for 18 months - a mix of 30/40 hl cask and 225 lt. barriques, approximately 50/5o - followed by 9 months in bottle.
Bottle was popped and poured.
Bright red colour with a yellow hued rim. Very nice earthy smell with mushrooms followed by bright red fruit. The first sip is tight and the tannins characteristic of this vintage really shows. After some time in the glass, some secondary aromas come to the front. black cherries and roses. The aftertaste is long and theres is still a lot of tannins in this wine; if you have some of these, please leave them for at least 2 years more.
