Trial analysis
Deep red in colour. Bright mirror. In the nose, an explosion of red fruit, with some blackberries in the background. Almost no wood perceptible, even in its youth. Nicely balanced and above all elegant. On the palate firm onset, yet soft tannins with nicely present acids that give the wine structure and elegance. Long finish.
