2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Intense garnet red, very deep and brilliant. Displays a slow and glyceric tear that denotes its nobility and internal structure.
Nose: Red and black fruits in liqueur (cranberries, dried plums), enveloped in nuances of Mediterranean scrub, 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 are the advantages of the Magnum (1.5L) format for this wine?
The Magnum format is ideal for professional cellaring. Having twice 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 in optimal conditions.
