One of my favorites. I'm always glad to have a chance to have this one.

Mar 2nd, 2016Vigna Francia. Deep purple on the core, with hint of red ruby on the rim. Complex aromas consists of hint of oxidized cherry, leather, tabacco, flowers and fresh red plum as well. Med body, med p acid, med p intensity, med tannin, med p finish, soft and silky texture. Acid kick on the first palate but hint of tabaccoish structure follows after that. Recommend to age minimum two years in the bottle, drink in 10 years.
