Tasting Notes
With a hint of candied violet underlaid black forest berries, but also ripe plum and nougat, candied orange zest, intense and at the same time very attractive bouquet. Very full, almost opulent, extract sugar and a pleasant savouriness, powerful tannins that promise a long life, pleasant herbal touch on the long finish, but still shows some baby fat. Here some patience is still required.
