La Ricolma 2006

The grapes were picked between September 23 and 24, 2006 to produce a wine that then spent some 22 months aging in barriques, a few more in the bottle and was then put on the self. The aroma is very distinct with scents of raw meat, bark, pepper and sweeter spices. A little less evident are the notes of ripe fruit, blackberry and violet on a balsamic background. The mouthfeel is a lashing of freshness in balance with a soft body and a very long persistence of fruit, eucalyptus and spice.
