Seasonal conditions: a benchmark year for the estate, warm and relatively dry with an average temperature of 13.3°C, due to a very hot spring and summer. The little rain there was took place mostly in the first part of the year.
A luminous and compact ruby color that still has some purple reflections. The bouquet is clear, complex and elegant on a harmonious floral and fruity background with notes of currant, rose, black cherry syrup and wisteria on top of spice sensations of nutmeg and vegetal ones of fern followed by deeper tones of cinchona and rhubarb. The mouthfeel has excellent persistence and dynamic yet structured, thanks to copious and rounded tannins that are thinned out by a fresh and saline finish that adds persistence and invites another sip. The clean aftertaste has notes of ripe fruit, medicinal herbs and black tea. A great Lagrein.
