Deurić – Aksiom Crveni 2018

The nose reveals power in elegance, a fine airiness in approach, fine grain and complexity. There are notes of crushed blackcurrant, wild blackberry and more slightly blueberry, Bourbon vanilla combined with hints of crushed blue berries, confit currants as well as subtle hints of menthol, black pepper, cinnamon, spices as well as a subtle almost herbal touch and an imperceptible hint of clove. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, smoothness, acidity, good definition, finesse, structure (in delicacy), nice volume and the concentration that is just right. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright blackcurrant, bright blue berry and more lightly fleshy/juicy cherry combined with fine touches of juicy strawberry, blueberry, liquorice stick, star anise as well as discreet hints of sweet spice, nutmeg, a subtle almost balsamic hint and an imperceptible hint of a sense of place (local biotop / local grove). The tannins are supple and precise. Sapidity, nice acidity and freshness on the finish.
