WINE TASTING NOTES

IN THE GLASS

Surprising, deep black cherry colour, good depth. With distinct purple edges. Clean and bright.

ON THE NOSE

Powerful, concentrated nose, intense and deep.
Notes of black and red fruits (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries), very ripe, wrapped in notes of the toast (coffee, licorice, toffee), balsamic, chocolaty backdrop and a nice balsamic character.

IN THE MOUTH

The palate is big, structured, intense, meaty, oily and inviting.
High concentration of fruit, black plums in liqueur, sweet notes of
fruit compote, chocolate and licorice.
Creamy and absorbing with a long, lingering finish.
