Tasting Notes
Dark carmine garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, delicate ochre rim. Ripe bouquet of nougat and blood oranges, fine spices, a hint of dried plums, tobacco and mineral nuances. Powerful, extract-sweet, red berry confit, well-integrated wood spice, full-bodied on the finish, nuances of black cherries and blackberries, dark chocolate in the aftertaste, certainly further ageing potential, classic style.
