Deep dark ruby garnet, opaque core, purple reflections, very DELICATE brightening towards the rim. Underpinned by black berry fruit with purple, blackberry confit, fine minerality, a hint of white chocolate, very DELICATE bouquet. Juicy, a texture like velvet and silk, fine, ripe tannins, ripe cherries, DELICATE licorice, pleasant dried fruit nougat touch on the finish, lingers very long, full of finesse, already immensely seductive, great ageing potential, here you have to force yourself to be patient.
