The Espelt Terres Negres 2008 comes from phenolically ripe grapes that enable a long maceration. Deep red, almost the colour of Indian ink. Very subtle and complex nose. The typical spices of the varieties and the ageing notes: toasty and vanilla. In the mouth it is balanced and very long. The structure is good and peasant. This wine will develop favourably over the next 4-5 years.
