Deep ruby red colour tending to purple. Bouquet is superbly aromatic, with great length and intensity, redolent of sour cherries, plum jam and ultra-elegant notes of dried violets. Emerging from the background are intriguing evolved nuances of creamy spice pepper, cinnamon and liquorice. Fine tobacco, cacao and roasted coffee are the heritage of the wines barrique ageing. Stunning. Palate firm and impressive structure. The alcoholic warmth perfectly balances the elegant and fine-grained tannins.
