Deep, dense cherry colour, with a touch of mahogany. Fragrant and enticing on the nose, with spices and blackcurrant as well as complex hints of cranberries, cherries and truffles and an incense-like quality developed during ageing in wood. On the palate it is svelte, polished, focused and harmonious, with plum, cassis, liquorice, tobacco and mineral notes that mingle gracefully over well-integrated tannins. Great texture and structural depth as well as refinement. This wine marries density and freshness, presenting a long, plush finish.
