ROSTRO

STAINED GLASS WINDOW ORIGIN :
St Vitus cathedral – Prague

 

COMMENTARY :

Nose impresses notes of macerated small red fruits, morello cherries and gentle spiciness. souple and very delicate attack, a wine built on delicacy, molten and silky tannins; notes of potpourri, wilted roses, cherry brandy and aromatic herbs come along with opening. A wine which will be able to wait many years in your cellar. Decanting an hour before drinking is recommended in its youth.

 
« Elegance, delicacy and purity … A sublime Mourvedre, delicate like Calais lace, a great tribute to the exemplary and amazing work achieved by the Milan Family. To be drunk without moderation if you can get hold of one of those rare bottles available…» Fred
