Tasting Notes from Pinto Wines
Colour Cherry-red colour
Nose Great aromatic intensity of small, ripe, black fruits ( blueberries, blackcurrants, cassis, damsons, cherries in liqueur), graphite and mineral notes from the terroir, liquorice, subtle hints of blue flowers (violets), woodland undergrowth (moss and fallen leaves)
Palate A powerful, dense, very rich attack. It combines sensations of volume, structure and richness with a silky texture which never ends. Lively tannins, discernible but ripe and which will become more polished with time. Very, very long and persistent, elegant with magnificent acidity which augurs well for great ageing
