Tasted Oct 22nd 2021

Note: Very good quality, well balanced, it’s like a classic, tasteful, well-produced burlesque show. Vogue.

Drink now, may improve with 3-5 years of cellaring. I would love to see how the flavours will evolve with the tannins it has.

First Impression: Medium ruby gem. Like a sophisticated dark red vogue makeup.

Flavours: Medium+ intensity, red and black cherry, mixed berry jam, plum, prune, refreshing vegetal notes like bell pepper, slate, soil, something rustic yet refined about it.

Structure: Dry, medium+ acidity, pronounced intensity on the palate, medium+ fine grained tannins, medium+ body yet still elegant and graceful, long finish.
