Tasting Note:

Intense deep redcherry colour with bulberry borders and dense legs. Concentrated and complex nose of blackberrieslicorice vanilla and dark chocolate. Beautifully structured and elegant palate with blue and blackberry fruit spicy core and mineral notes on the finish. Voluptuous well integrated ripe tannins. Strong acidity with long long finish. This is the top red from the Castel del remi stable and it shows. Will benefit from decanting or lay down for up to 10 years. Rather special!
