Appearance: Crystal-clear, with silvery highlights Nose: A delicate nose of damp earth and herbaceous notes, enhanced by a hint of pepper. Palate: More intense than on the nose, the palate reveals pronounced minerality, ripe black fruits and sweet liquorice. The round, oily texture coats the palate, with a slight warmth from the alcohol. The finish, of medium length, remains smooth and slightly phenolic. Overall impression: A balanced and well-integrated wine, with lovely complexity, although the nose could be more intense and it lacks a touch of elegance.
