Appearance: Transparent, crystal-clear, brilliant Nose: Umami notes of soya combine with earthy hints of mushroom and a mineral touch. Palate: On the palate, the power asserts itself immediately with a firm structure, underpinned by ripe fruit and a hint of spice. The glycerine-like texture lends roundness and complements a distinct warmth. The long, deep finish carries the umami and earthy notes through. Overall impression: A powerful, well-structured wine, where the depth of umami and earthiness is balanced by a fruity roundness, despite a pronounced warmth.
