Tasting Notes
Deep dark ruby purple. On the nose ripe blackberries, cassis, milk chocolate, strawberries, plus minimal animalistic tones, dark savouriness. Present on the palate, with plenty of tannin and hearty course, then unfortunately a bit drying in the aftertaste.
More about the tastingVery dark, intense red with purple highlights. On the nose, aromas of plum and blueberry are accompanied by licorice and cocoa. In the mouth it's soft but still with a nice seam of acidity and marked tannins. A slightly savoury finish rounds it off.
