On nose

The tasting begins with a wine that breathes and comes alive in a light, playful spiral, with touches of angelica, coconut, cinnamon, cocoa and tobacco.

On palate

In the mouth, the wine reaches a state of complex fullness: earthy, smoky and pearly, underscored by the vibrant warmth of peppery spice. The sensation of intensity develops and melts into a deep, rounded heart, with a fruity, exotic maturity and a slight touch of aniseed. This sensation, almost unsettling, is even more pronounced in the finish, while the notes of spice, still present, remain discreet, with toasted and iodine flavors.

The harvest

The year 1999 was contrasted, the average temperature was high, and the long, dry, summer season was confirmed as being "tropical", punctuated with strong winds and several hailstorms. The rainfall during harvesting (14 September), did not affect a healthy and abundant crop, with an exceptionally powerful and well-rounded character.
