"Dunkles Rubinrot. Sehr präsenter Holzeinsatz in der Nase, leicht staubig, dann zarte Preiselbeeren und Kirschen, würzig. Am Gaumen satt und mächtig, breitet sich mit spürbarem Alkohol aus, im hinteren Bereich bremsend und ermüdend."

"È ampio nel bouquet floreale che vede l'alternarsi gioioso di magnolia, tiglio, gelsomino, ibisco e gerani. Corpo medio-pieno, succoso e centrato mostra dei tannini vellutati ed un finale equilibrato e dalla chiusura deliziosa che chiede di tornare al calice. Bevi ora o invecchia."

"Ricco e complesso al naso dispensa note di fragole, mirtilli e ribes. Si arricchisce con note che ricordano l'asfalto ed il cuoio. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini morbidi e ben polimerizzati ed un finale armonico ed equilibrato. Bello ed essenziale. Bevi ora."
