    Markus Del Monego
    Dark purple color with almost black purple reflections. Expressive nose of sweet ripe fruits reminiscent of black berries, such as blackberry, elderberry and blackcurrant. Subtle woody and refined spicy, discreet oriental spices, Kampot pepper in the background and a slightly smoky touch after contact with oxygen. Well balanced on the palate with opulence and lovely freshness, ripe tannins and discreet acidity, flavors of refined fruit and noble spices.

    Very refined and polished with minerally, almost salty character. Full body and beautiful, compact tannins. Racy finish. Excellent drive to this at the end.

    Such freshness and subtlety in this bouquet. It reveals itself slowly and displays chalky, floral and fruity nuances. Notes of violets, pepper and black berries. Creamy attack. The palace is slowly revealed, like the bouquet. It is the acid structure that opens the show, followed by compact and creamy tannins. Subtle aromatic intensity ideally supported by the acid structure. The wine gains in dimension and freshness as it matures on the palate. Fruity, salivating and persistent finish. An imposing wine. 2026-2050 95-97/100
