Viu 1 – Ninth Edition 2009
February 2016Tasting Notes
A deep, dark violet-onyx in color, this wine offers an elegantly perfumed nose with standout black fruit such as plums, blackberries, and black cherries, along with notes of violet, sweet spices, and blond tobacco. The palate has a smooth texture and great concentration, with a very good balance between tannins and acidity. Expressive, elegant, complex, and subtly mineral at the same time, with an enjoyable, lingering finish.
