Tasting notes

Light brown-red colour. At first shows some oxidation. With air it shows more typical notes of this grape with hints of anise and sweet bonfire. Touch oxidation is there. Light wine in the mouth. Yet it seems cleaner and prettier than on the nose. Minerality, bonfire, touch florality and anise. Fruit on the way down. Some VA. Good acidity and little tannins left. Still gives pleasure, but probably better 10 years ago. Modest quality by now.
