2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Intense, very deep and brilliant garnet red. It presents a slow, glyceric tear that denotes its nobility and internal structure.
Nose: Red and black fruits in liqueur (blueberries, prunes), enveloped in nuances of Mediterranean scrubland, toffee, incense, and perfectly integrated fine woods.
Palate: Superb and broad entry. In Magnum format, a superior roundness is perceived with velvety tannins. Enviable structure, balsamic balance, and eternal persistence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What advantages does the Magnum (1.5L) format offer for this wine?
The Magnum format is ideal for professional cellaring. Having double the volume but the same neck size as a standard bottle, oxidation is much slower, allowing the wine to maintain its freshness and gain complexity for decades to come.
Is it suitable for immediate consumption or does it require cellaring?
Although the 2021 vintage already shows impressive harmony, Hipperia Magnum is designed for posterity. It can be enjoyed today with decanting, but its absolute fullness will be reached after several years of rest under optimal conditions.
