This wine pours a bright, deep ruby with a hint of purple. On the nose, you’ll pick up super fragrant notes like nutmeg, star anise, orange, pimento, jasmine, vanilla, musk, and cedar—all wrapped in an “Old Spice” kind of aroma. The flavor leans into earthy, forest-like vibes, with wild mushrooms and dark berry fruit standing out more than any ocean scents. It’s powerful yet smooth, moving from lively, slightly sweet fruit with a savory edge into a really fine, powdery-dry tannin finish that never feels overwhelming. There's plenty of rich fruit here, but it never comes off as heavy.

Tasting Notes | Bright and deep ruby with a purple tinge. Super fragrant “Old Spice” perfume with nutmeg, star anise, orange, Pimento, jasmine, vanilla, musk and cedar. With old cellar charm, this vintage expresses more earthy, forest-like elements, wild mushroom and dark berry fruit, than ocean scents. So powerful and fluid. It flows from buoyant fruit sweetness with a savoury overtone, into a super-fine, tightly woven tannin profile that is powdery and dry but not intense. It is rich fruit power, but not heavy. |
