Tasting Notes
Dark ruby red with purple hues, subtle brightening on the rim. Dried fruit nuances, a hint of figs, tobacco, dried herbs, a hint of nougat. A juicy, sweet texture, ripe tannins, nuances of nougat, already developed, a touch chocolatey in the aftertaste, multi-faceted, a good food companion. At maturity.
More about the tastingDeep dark ruby garnet, violet reflections. Delicate precious wood spice on the nose, some nougat, underlaid with dark berry fruit, hints of exotic spices. Full-bodied, extract-sweet and highly elegant, powerful but very well integrated tannins, chocolaty finish, great length, very well balanced, great future.
