Sideral Rapel Valley 2006

Winemaker's Notes:

Rubin-granat. Cassis und Heidelbeeren in der äusserst verführerischen Nase, dahinter zarte Röstaromen, Milchschokolade, geröstetes Brot und etwas Tabak. Enorm elegante Gaumenaromatik, bestens strukturiert, wiederum viel schwarzbeerige Frucht, untermalt von etwas Lakritze, samtenes Tanningerüst, bezauberndes Finale.

Purpurrot, leicht aufgehellter Rand. Brombeeren und schwarze Johannisbeeren, gepaart mit feinstem Vanille und Milchschokolade in der raffiniert komponierten Nase. Eleganter Auftakt, abgelöst von einer kraftvollen Aromatik schwarzer Beerenfrucht, Kirschenkompott; eine auffallend samtene Tanninstruktur und einige würzige Komponenten runden den vollen Körper ab; langanhaltendes, aromatisch bestens abgedecktes Finale.
