This is an atomic wine bomb. The color tends more towards black than red, impenetrable, with purple reflections that still recall its youth. The bouquet is a fireworks displayoif intensity, with scents that range from dark chocolate, pipe tobacco and Noberasco prunes. It is hard to conjugate the fervor in the aroma with such a high level if complexity. The taste is truly devastating, after taking one sip anything can happen, one's ability to discriminate is significantly weakened due to over-stimulation. A wine to drink alone and as the last glass, otherwise anything that follows would not stand a chance. Saturating. Without a doubt one of the most powerful and impressive wines in the world of wines. Perhaps it could improve in delicacy and intricacy, but truly outstanding.
