Tasting
The nose reveals a complex bouquet of ripe red fruit, raspberry and blackcurrant, accompanied by subtle notes of black truffle, liquorice and sweet spices.
On the palate, a velvety texture and perfect balance. Red fruit blends harmoniously with hints of vanilla, nutmeg and tobacco. The smooth tannins give this wine an elegant structure and seductive depth.
The finish leaves lingering aromas of cocoa and black cherry, as well as a subtle minerality.
