Tasting Notes:

Extremely fascinating on the nose alternating notes of strawberries, red prunes, lavender, hibiscus, karkadè, linden blossom, lime peel and passionfruit. In the background herbaceous hints colour the matrix green. Full bodied, perfectly polymerized tannins and a warm, enveloping finale which shows volume and tension, extending in the best possible manner, leaving a great gustatory persistency.

96 Points - WinesCritic.com, Raffaele Vecchione, July 2022. "Rich and complex, a wine that sweetly shows it's essence with captivating notes of red prunes, wild strawberries, myrtle and grape must. The background is delicious with sweet notes of white almonds and pink grapefruit. Full bodied, dense and compact on the centre palate thanks to a high density of extraction and a precise finale, delicate and sartorial. Delicous now and difficult to resist but it will express itself better from 2022 onwards."

95 Points - Falstaff, November 2019. "Ruby with fine garnet shimmer on the rim. Opens with savoury notes on the nose of raspberry and hints of liquorice. Densely packed palate with ripe, dense tannin, generous with a firm drive on the finish."
