Tasting
A deep and vibrant ruby color with clear violet reflections. The attack is expressive and immediate. Dominated by blackberry, black cherry, and ripe plum, enhanced by indulgent notes of blueberry pie. Delicate floral touches (violet), sweet spices (five spices), subtle hints of tobacco leaf, cedar, coffee grounds, and dark chocolate. The tannins are fine but firm, perfectly integrated with balanced acidity. Long finish with plenty of freshness and a subtle note of minerality.
