Tasting Notes
Dark ruby, discreet ochre rim, brightening on the edge. Notes of tobacco and blackberries, a touch of liquorice, mineral and smoky touch. Velvety and chocolatey, clearly less animalistic with air, black berries, ripe tannins, lingering, nougat touch in the finish; simply great, mineral and very convincing.
