Winemaker's notes:
Color: Bright and deep red ruby with a purple robe. Nose: Apalta-s vineyard fruit expression as its best.

Decant and serve at 16-18. Ideal companion for meats and elaborate dishes.

Дълбок гранатов цвят с пурпурни отенъци. Носът е богат, но сдържан, усещат се различни тъмни горски пловоде - къпини, боровински, черни череши, сливи, обвити от меки земни тонове (пръст). Вкусът е многостепенен. Започва с плодовете, допълва се от леки тютюневи и шоколадови нотки и завършва с лека пикантност на езика. Танините са хармонични. Вино от много висока класа, може би е на края на свежестта си - ако имате, пийте го скоро!
