Arínzano 2002

Our 2002 vintage has a potent nose, captivating, complex. Notes of truffle, red and black fruits, myrtille, blackberry, cherry, a shade of dark chocolate. As it breathes it develops notes of cassis and blackcurrant.

Velvety attack, potent and fresh on the palate, and a delicious evolution, dense. A very long, mineral finish, this wine is extremely characteristic of the terroir from which it proceeds.
