Alto Adige Lagrein Porphyr 2000
Terlan (Alto Adige)
The wine shows a deep ruby red color and nuances of purple red, little
transparency. The nose reveals good personality with intense, clean,
pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum
and blackberry followed by aromas of pomegranate, blueberry, violet,
licorice, tobacco, vanilla, cocoa and hints of graphite. In the mouth has
good correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack and pleasing
crispness, however well balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors,
good tannins, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of plum,
black cherry and pomegranate. A well made wine. Porphyr ages in barrique.
