Domus Aurea Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

COLOR: Dense and Intense Ruby Purple.
NOSE: Deep, dominated by an elegant and spicy barrel aging. A background of fresh leather, truffles and meaty notes rises powerfully, blending with graphite and wet stones hints. Then comes the fruit made of black cherries, bright blackcurrant. Slight tones of black pepper, dried herbs and balsamic notes are above a menthol accent. Bread crust, aromatized tobacco and subtle sweet chocolate add to the complexity.
PALATE: Shows a still evolving, fine and impressive structure. A noble presence of oak joins the general balsamic entity. Fresh and fine tight tannins create a true armor, yet integrated to the substance, that will surely be polished by time. The very tactile texture never prevails over the wine balance. Long and vibrant, the finish underlines the herbal and balsamic notes as well has the brightness of the unctuous dazzling fruit.
