The intensity and thickness of this wine's nose are striking, with an amalgamation of jam, paint, iodine, cacao, tobacco, caramel, and rum. VA is masterfully woven into its structure, not only contributing to the complexity but also almost resurrecting the wine by elevating the palate. This results in a great balance, making the wine not only complex but also providing a warming, embracing sensation. The tannins and acidity are well-judged, complementing each other perfectly. The long aftertaste adds to the overall experience, making this wine not just delicious but also beautifully crafted.
Perched on its peak, this gem parades a nose rich in chocolate and red fruit jam, with earthy undertones and a hint of Madeira, elevated by just the right touch of volatile acidity for added complexity. The palate, vivacious even in maturity, is impeccably balanced, showcasing a robust structure and an unexpected juiciness. A round, tantalizing experience that hits the mark.
And let me brag a bit - I guessed the producer.
