Tasting notes: The color is very deep, intense purple. The nose is deep, concentrated and complex, yet refined. Aromas of ripe fruit, such as blackberry and black raspberry, combine with spicy notes, smoke and hints of leather. On the palate, it is silky yet powerful, with elegant tannins and balanced acidity, offering aromas of ripe fruit, clove, black pepper and a touch of herbs. The finish is exceptionally long and immensely complex.
